not so fast

now before you go thanking all of us for our stoicism and sacrificing so much, there's a few items that deserve attention.

all of this. This is not normal, it is irrational and unnatural. I personally, have done my best to comply with your rules, restrictions and regulations but I hate them. To say I despise them is an understatement. I know I have said this before but instead of your words of thanks, maybe you should submit a humble, grovelling apology. Once all this is over there is a lot you have to do. A lot you must do.

specifically, maybe you should start small. At what age do you explain to children what the hell was all that about? How young are they and they may not speak but do they perceive everyone is wearing masks; does that mean I have done something wrong? Or the basic question why was everybody wearing masks?

then there is interaction. Wearing those damn masks has hampered our communication in so many detrimental ways. Here's a challenge; get as many people to laugh until they cry as a reparation. That, would be the first thing to do but by no means the least. If only for a short period of time.

a day of people gathered in open spaces together, sitting in seats or lying on blankets. Without masks on. The strangest thing is as far as masks go, the amount of people on public transport wearing their masks under the chin. What was the point? Of all the places to wear a mask properly.

you may dismiss this as a load of hippy dippy nonsense. I define all this as the opposite of now. These are just a few things that come to mind. I am sure people could suggest more.
