They surge is because people are stupid - just like the president.
Fact – masks are 90% effective at stopping the spread of the disease.
Yet many people refuse to wear masks in public. They don’t like the way they look. They feel funny. The wearing of masks is a conspiracy theory. They have a constitutional right to be mask-free. (the list of excuses goes on and on.) Therefore, the wearing of masks is only “recommended”. Gee, we’d hate for those in authority to put their fool down... they might not get reelected.
People also have the strange idea that if we simply open everything back up, then everything will instantly go back to “normal”.
It doesn’t work that way. When one tosses a rock in a pool of still water, does the water instantly become still? Of course not; it takes time. And if one keeps tossing more rocks into the water, it’ll never become still.
- Not wearing a mask in public – a rock is tossed.
- Crowding people close together – another rock is tossed.
- Not staying home when sick – another rock is tossed.
- Traveling from county to county just because you can - another rock is tossed.
- Not practicing social distancing - another rock is tossed.
The longer the water remains stirred up, the longer it will take to become calm again.
Yes, people are stupid. A wise person knows better than to shi* where they eat. Yet from the looks of all the shi* going on, there aren’t very many wise people out there.
