broke that old jar head's spirit. If honey was alive ... well, he wouldn't be, he'd of ranted and raved about the masks, the shutdown's, (no stopping up at the vfw, for a half hour - which, was about all he could handle, in '16...coronary issues) the MILLIONS of people economically, systematically - if not irreversibly - destroyed... he'd of gotten so fumed, his heart would've exploded - ka-BOOM! Was his wife for 27 years, so i knew what sorta hot-head my husband was. Oh, and yeah, he really, really liked Donald Trump :)
Don't think he'd of thought too kindly of people/organizations telling other people/organizations to lemming up for a shot ... one that has neither been time-tested, nor is able to keep up with the mutations. Husband just plain didn't like nosey people.
Speaking of mutations, can still recall, about 50 years ago, being in school, and the teacher explaining to us kids why there were no shots for colds, and flus...mutations. Of course, back then, there were shots against certain viruses that either killed/disfigured/crippled like a quarter of people infected. Serious, dangerous stuff.
Meanwhile, for overwhelmingly most people, catching covid means a few not-so-wonderful days - and losing your taste-buds for several weeks...hhmmm, maybe i need to get covid, could stand to lose a few pounds ;) - but then again, why bother;/ my Husband's gone.
This damn pandemic and the poor way its been handled is starting to do my head in too, so I get what you are saying about your husband. I told my sister I was glad mom died a few years ago, because if we weren't allowed to visit her it would have broken her heart to think we'd abandoned her!
ReplyDeleteDear Treaders, and barely a word concerning despair deaths...old people, who spent months, on lock-down in their tiny borg-units. The not knowing when it's going to happen again. While the young people, hoping their jobs don't disappear come winter, listen to the (fake?) news, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
