*disclaimer* i am HEAVILY critical of the poorly thought out, over-exaggerated, draconian, and highly suspicious response to the covid-19 situation, if you find that offensive don't read any further.

its a little sad when you realize your daily life has been a default form of quarantine long before the world lost its head thanks to coronavirus. i am a textbook introvert; i dont like socializing IRL, i work 40+ hour weeks and almost never do anything with co-workers, i leave work and go to my apartment and typically dont leave again until the next workday, or when i go grocery shopping/other official errands. i usually only go on vacation once a year, and usually im by myself and only for a couple of days, hardly ever going out of state. going out of state might happen once every 5 years. i am very much a homebody and a working man, thats all my real life consists of.

you'd think i'd support everybody being in quarantine, cuz they're living the way i have for years, but im not. people who live in apartment buildings filled with dumb, obnoxious assholes and their little inbred children are not having a good time. typically these animals left and did things throughout the day, leaving the shut-ins at home in peace. now everybody is home, the parents arent working and the kids arent going to school. people are getting louder and louder the longer the quarantines last, and with everything shutting down, one cant just get in their car and leave anymore. public places like restaurants, movie theaters, hotels, etc...were places to escape fuckhole neighbors. now everybody is trapped together, the cabin fever is beyond description. inter-personal crime and domestic violence cases are going up faster and faster thanks to these quarantines, and it makes total sense. nobody can escape each other, tensions rise and violence happens. this is John B. Calhoun's "behavioral sink" in action, just with humans instead of rats. people forget that humans are animals too

so for those of us in apartments, the home is no longer a sanctuary, cuz all the demons who irritate the typical introvert are constantly near them. and since evictions were also postponed in the US...demons who are actively making the lives of their neighbors a living hell can now stay and do whatever the fuck they want. halting evictions was such a dumb move, nobody gets evicted for something small, best case scenario is unpaid rent. if the politicians used their brains they would have said EVICTIONS HALTED, BUT ONLY FOR UNPAID RENT.

i consider myself lucky that i was listed as a "critical worker" due to working in transportation, so i do escape the fuckhole neighbors by continuing to go to work every day. i leave a full parking lot in the morning and come home to one. however, the flight school i took care of closed a month ago thanks to this shit, and our workload is REALLY sparse now. other departments are being sent home cuz of a lack of work. its hard to feel critical when you stretch a 2 hour job into an 8 hour shift and arent even doing anything for the masses, you're just working on some random dude's private plane that they only flew 5 hours in the last year. despite shitty neighbors, a part of me is honestly jealous of all the time off non-critical workers are getting. i havent had more than 5 days off in a row in nearly a decade

airline division had an entire shift get quarantined due to somebody getting sick, and since its so difficult to actually get tested for covid, we dont know if thats what he got, so as a result, everybody working here is potentially exposing themselves. one of my 62 year old co-workers was actually turned away by his hospital when he asked to be tested due to having covid-like symptoms...this is legitimately fucked up, am i the only one who finds this fucked up? everybody who was listed as a "critical worker" (which is honestly 75% of the population) along with the non-criticals buying their groceries, are continuing to go out because they HAVE TO...nobody is defying anything like the media continues to say. but...this is still why cases keep rising. this is why i say these lockdowns are completely pointless and are gonna destroy the livelyhoods of millions of non-essential people while the essentials are sacrificed like lambs before a malevolent god. i dont fear covid-19, i fear the horrible long term ramifications of the world's RESPONSE to it. this is something more people need to consider and address. giving everybody stimulus checks and making pornhub free isnt going to fix people's economic problems the world's governments have decided to inflict upon them. h1n1 didnt stop the world like this, why should corona?

history needs to condemn these horrible decisions, and point out flatly that they were done in a knee-jerk way without giving them any logical thought. history needs to condemn the panic buyers for hoarding vital supplies and creating shortages that would never have happened if people bought conservatively. will history do this though? probably not, cuz despite all the raping and pillaging of grocery stores, intentional destruction of the world's economy, etc...history will only focus on how everybody was "in this together" and doing what they had to to "protect what was important to them". always remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions

so i'll continue wasting the calories it takes to drag my ass out of bed each morning, drive into work and fuck off all day cuz nobody is flying...and then come home to listen to the neighbors and their kids beat my walls while the rednecks across from me get drunk/fight in the parking lot while letting their kids throw rocks at everybody's cars...and cant escape anywhere save for the vast empty parking lot of the movie theater which has been closed for weeks now. sooner or later i'll get covid-19 too (along with all the other critical workers) and either endure 2 weeks of pure fucking hell listening to all the motherfucking inbreds being obnoxious in my apartment complex...or die like the 60K that have died so far (which is still less than the total deaths for influenza as a whole in 2017...or the total deaths for h1n1 in 2009...) so yeah...welcome to New World Order 2020™ everybody! WOOOO
