We never learn!
You're absolutely right, and this is what I have been telling everyone since June: Americans do not know how to handle an epidemic! These people are just narcissistic, and would gladly risking infecting everyone just to satisfy their own needs. The cases will skyrocket by the second week of December, just as it did after the election. I have sequestered myself as much as possible when I do not have to work since Mid March, but everyone is so desperate to go out they're willing to risk thousands in hospital bills because they don't know how to be by themselves. And the PSA is so typical: Do as I say, not as I do. They believe in the epidemic rules AFTER they get sick and think they have the right to lecture everyone else?
A Nation of Idiots
Tom, I had a couple of friends that were/are Trump supporters. Obviously they are not as smart as they think they are. One of them I don't talk to anymore and the other had the attitude of "Well, I'm young and healthy! I'm going to be fine!" Well yes, *HE* is young and healthy. *HE* will probably be fine. Hell, *I* am young and healthy. *I* will probably be fine too. But how many people would I infect if I went around with my regular life? How many of *THOSE* people would be fine? I don't owe anyone my business, but we should have enough respect for the life of other people to not act as vectors for the disease, even though there are still plenty of people who lack any intelligence and will still get sick and die.
Happy Thanksgiving
I hope all of you have a good and safe Thanksgiving. I'm grateful for the technology we have online during these times including Tom's podcasts along with the Gary and Dino Show. It was great hearing most of you long time listeners and first time callers call in with various stories and questions for Tom over the years. Thinking back a couple of years, it was great attending Tom's San Diego dinner because of everyone who was there including Tom, Gary, Dino, my brother Dan and Shotgun Tom Kelly. Along with the listeners that attended, it felt like Thanksgiving in April.
One has to ask why the airlines are getting away on this
Governers should shut down airports along with barber shops and dining. The airline industry skates on several levels, upmost being GLOBAL WARMING. If you dont think jets pollute all that much, park your car on the approach to LAX for a month. Youll find a thick tar on it that dissolves the clearcoat when you try to remove it. Then theres the federal dollars that have supported all the TSA, Sherrifs, flight control towers, and all the money it takes to operate.
we are heroes!
THANK YOU FOR THE SHOUT OUT TOM!!!! :) I work at a hospital here in WA, and do see many Covid -19 patients. I appreciate the kind words :)
Im guilty
I travel a lot all during this pandemic and all its personal reasons but reasons that cannot be ignored. Yeah its dangerous especially after the Summer before that hardly no one traveled so it was safe now the airports are about 75% full so contact tracing is astronomical.
