Now that we’re habituated to lockdown, just like being habituated to TSA screenings there’s no going back. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Nahhnnnlevven and Corona Fever have much in common, including theater.
After the “enemies of freedom” struck, we got Security Theater. The Homeland Security Department, blue-uniformed crotch fondlers, cattle-chuting at airports and “freeze in place” – which some of you may remember.
It was proposed that Americans traveling through airports do exactly that when so ordered by a loudspeaker voice – Because Trrrrr (as The Chimp used to say – for everything).
And here we are. Sickness Theater.
People ordered to “shelter in place” and when not doing that, strongly urged and soon-to-be-forced to wear surgical masks as they scuttle stoop-shouldered and suspicious of floating bacilli from shelter to shelter, always maintaining their “social distance.” Press conferences almost hourly warning of the Dread Threat, which – like ululating Islamists – seems less an actual threat than the people giving these press conferences.
The Trrrrrists supposedly knocked down three buildings – including one they didn’t hit with an airplane. The Chimp took down America, which became a place where “if you see something, say something” – anonymously, of course.
” Now we have a bug that is asserted to be actually everywhere…”
I am wondering if the Novel Coronavirus can become a venereal disease now that it’s “everywhere”. So I googled it and got this:
“Kissing could definitely spread it, several experts said.
Though coronaviruses are not typically sexually transmitted, it’s too soon to know, the W.H.O. said.”

Glad to know that we can rely on the W.H.O.
