Bad Habits

The Schloss-Blog has been roaming around, looking around and seeing some bad habits.

As in, people not adhering to the standards of wearing masks or maintaining social distancing.

Not even close.

What is wrong America? It's almost as if there are people out there (Trump supporters) who want to kidnap government officials who want to enforce COVID-19 restrictions.

No, wait...

I was watching Texas A&M play Florida. A&M fans were locked in their arm-in-arm traditional swaying and not exactly seated socially distanced either.

Not even close.

Not at any game I've watched. Texas-OU. Tennessee-Georgia. Doesn't matter. Fans don't care. Bring on the virus. We don't care.

At a football game I attended, parents and fans, sans masks, greeted each other with hugs and handshakes like nothing was wrong in the world.

Not just some of them. All of them.

And it's not just the fans. The Tennessee Titans, the Chicago Bears, the Kansas City Chiefs are all having COVID run through their rosters.

Their games postponed. We'll even have a Tuesday night game this week.

At the White House, meanwhile, the president, who may be dead by the time you read this, disdains quarantine and greets mask-less guests before seating them, not socially distanced.

For a campaign event, which, according to the Hatch Act, it is illegal to do at the White House.

Who knows how many people the president and his traveling party may have infected. No, wait, we do know - 18. Senators, aides, advisers (Stephen "Racist" Miller - aw, shucks).

On airplanes, which you must wear a mask to board, several airlines are packing their now limited and fewer flights full, selling middle seats (looking at you, United and American).

It'll likely be that way for a while. Maybe until 2022.

I know people who won't get on a plane for at least six months after a vaccine is approved and administered, to give it time to make sure it really works.

I also know people who refuse to take the vaccine in any form. They don't trust the government's rushed development thereof or are just plain old anti-vaxxers.

And they voted for Trump.

That's not gonna' help herd mentality - uh, immunity (gawd, Trump is stupid).

I had coffee the other day with an old friend who happened to be visiting nearby and was kind enough to call me. We sat, socially distanced, outside at a Starbucks.

She told me she hasn't hugged ANYONE since the end of January. She's 40. Has a teenage son.

I have a relative who never - NEVER - leaves his house. Everything is delivered, ordered online, dropped off. Groceries, household staples, dinners, you name it.

I guess the White House is not using amazon. (As if Trump would ever use Jeff Bezos' amazon).

And now, the president, assuming he is still alive as you read this, is telling everyone that getting the virus, which he once denied existed, was a blessing. His whole family should be so blessed. Virtually his whole White House has been. Dominus vobiscum, huh? 

And now, thanks to COVID restrictions, there will not be a second presidential debate. Too bad. Trump is missing an opportunity to make a crude, interrupting fool of himself because he only wants to be face-to-COVID-generating-face with Biden.

Oh, and Donald, the Durham investigation will NOT be completed before the election. Either will the vaccine.

Bye bye, Donald.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you Mrs. Robinson.

More Sunday tonight on my Radio Free Phoenix show.
