Resistance Revisited

As discussed in the reformatted Notes post, “Passive Resistance,” a change in life-style was proposed and implemented because of Fascist “super-duper corona” mandates. The following revisions have been finalized in preparation for the Fascist “new normal”:

1. Mausoleum Café - Coffee time will be be held indefinitely in the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki with delicious Nescafé® instant coffee.
2. Mausoleum Gym - Workouts using exercise bands will continue indefinitely as the future of the gym remains in flux.
3. Mausoleum Spa & Bath House - Showers at the mausoleum will continue indefinitely as the future of the gym remains in flux.
4. Mausoleum Diner - Dinner in take-out form from Subway® (or elsewhere) will be procured and dining will be indefinitely relegated to the mausoleum.
5. Mausoleum Barbershop - Haircuts will be implemented with the Wahl® hair clippers indefinitely.
6. Mausoleum Lounge - A return to the surrogate “living room” in the International Marketplace is unlikely. Lying on the airbed in the mausoleum, listening to redundant Spotify® playlists on the JBL® Flip 5, and staring at the ceiling may continue indefinitely.

In addition, transport by bus will be limited to one round-trip in the late afternoon to Ala Moana Center to purchase dinner and, if necessary, to shop for non-perishable food at Target® or Longs®, at least until the gym workouts resume.

All medical, dental, and optical appointments at Waikiki Health Center continue to be moved forward in time. There is no desire to sit in the clinic with bunch of hypochondriacs wearing face masks and the kind of nightmare that “social distancing” has created for patients in the queue.

All activities and purchases have been curtailed to “essential” needs only. The required deployment of the N95 face mask will only occur then while patronizing an “essential” establishment. Avoiding the use of the face mask is imperative as a matter of principle. Therefore, a boycott is in effect.

Finally, there is urgent to need to remain vigilant. So many of the rank-and-file peons have capitulated to the whims of the Fascists. They are easily recognized by the full-time deployment of the ridiculous face masks even when not required to do so. These mental midgets cannot be trusted. They are kapo-rona, willing agents of the Fascists.

Addendum: Workouts with the exercise bands have proven to be effective. The 70-minute upper body workout has reversed the atrophy, although some muscle loss was detected after the two-month workout “vacation.“ The latter workouts will continue throughout the duration of time rationing (i.e., one-hour appointments) at the gym. Gym workouts will focus on only two weight machines daily, with a priority placed on cardio for the bulk of the allotted time. That is, if an appointment can even be established.

Update: The governor of the State of Hawai’i has given the mayor of Honolulu approval to allow barbershops and hair salons to open on May 29th. Restaurant dining will be permitted on June 5th. And, gyms and theaters will be able reopen on June 19th at the earliest. All resistance provisions listed above will remain in effect.
