A Pandemic Journal, End April, It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine!

     I have not been paying attention to the world as weather has been sunny and warm and there is much to do in the yard. Tuesday alone found me painting the front railings/portico, dismantling the fire pit and chainsawing out the lilac that grew there for 15 years, earlier in the week I cut down a large wild Manitoba Maple and another large stump that I couldn't remove for years, or didn't care to! Just got a new chainsaw and wanted to try it out, so handy! Buying things is certainly different these days, we opted for curbside pickup at Home Depot, you order online and then they contact you when you can pick it up, it actually took overnight to get our order thru so I was not too impressed. You can go in the store but there was a lineup as they count the people in and out, I was surprised (or maybe not) to see random elderly couples coming out with some seed potatoes or some such small items, uuuhhh number one please limit your visit to only one family member and two if you are over 65 don't go out or at least take some precautions, oh well, old folks don't give a hoot about this virus, let them pass maybe we can change our stupid right wing governments!? So, when you arrive you simply park in a pickup spot call the number and in 10 minutes someone will come out with your stuff, I would do this at anytime! It's a pretty good system except the store would miss out on impulse sales, and I am super vulnerable to impulse sales especially for plants so maybe this is a good system for people who shop too much!?!?!? I deposited a cheque at the bank now this is a wholly different situation, when I pulled up to the drivethru teller a Somali woman was standing there waiting for the machine, it's not kosher, it's like walking thru the McDonalds drivethru, so she explains in a really nuts accent and tempo that the lineup is so long and all she needs is some cash, number one most stores are not accepting cash and number 2 just use debit, what are you making a drug deal or something? When I drive around the building there is a large line all the way thru the parking lot, so many Chinese customers do not seem to understand internet banking, nuts! Use the internets my friends!!!
In the news, most nights we are drinking and eating way too late, I catch a little news each day tho but not watching regularly really improves my mood as does the summer weather! I will try to recapture the events as best as possible!
Trump makes the claim that we could put ultraviolet light inside the body and/or inject the body with cleaners like bleach lysol etc, all while the medical advisor, the woman Dr. with all the scarves and big dresses, she is just shrinking and staring ahead as she sits listening to President shit for brains. It is likely his worst moment as President and probably won't be forgotten, it's just too stupid! Later he claims it was sarcasm but that is a ridiculous claim, we can watch the footage you know!
Still a small faction of Trump kooks and nuts are protesting to open their states up again and it is even creeping into Alberta. I don't know why but the most right wing nuts always look like men you would meet at a bath house, you know, like they would be more at home in the gay bar than at a right wing rally, like masculine gays, the most attractive gays around! Anyway I think these people are fucking nuts and I wish them well when they cause a second more deadly outbreak! So stupid!
The numbers; World 3.2 million, USA just over 1 million, Canada 52,069, Alberta 5,165, Calgary 3,520, we still have so many more cases than Edmonton at 489 cases so suck it losers!!! We are clearly the bigger and more important city! lol
There are still many corona cases in meat packing plants especially in the US but Trump has ordered them back to work it is just another foolish move by this dim wit idiot man child, the food chain could be affected and then how will all those fat Americans sit on a patio in Georgia and eat a hamburger or hamberger as Trump spelled it recently!? I still think there is more disaster awaiting the US this summer. Canada may be bending the curve but we are a much more obedient bunch who also understand science (to more of a degree than dip shit Americans!)
It's hard to care tho, I can't make the world listen to sense, do as you will, I wash my hands of this! There is so much to do outside, flowers to look at, plants to take care of. Just ask yourself why it is mainly politicians who are pressuring all of us to open everything back up, it's not coming from the public!
