There have been a lot of mixed messages emanating from the State Capital in the past few days. After the tallied “super-duper corona” infections averaged about 100 people per day, there has been no cohesive “voice.” However, the governor has stated that he does not foresee another “lockdown.”
The governor is also fast-tracking the “bubble tourism” option again in lieu of a workable universal visitor screening plan. So, Japanese (and other Asian) tourists will be able to fly in en masse without any need to quarantine. That’s right, no quarantine. Why? Because they’re “safe.” Or, maybe because many of the hotels and tour agencies are owned by Japanese conglomerates. Or, that Asian tourists spend more than double that of all other tourists.
The “super-duper corona” hoax is no longer even disguised. Blatant hypocrisy and lies just keep flowing. No attempt is even made to disguise the total incompetence. Yet, the fear of death has now reached a fever pitch amongst the locals. More and more people are wearing face masks full-time. Plastic face shields are now a common sight along with the ridiculous blue rubber gloves.
The public schools have been delayed in opening until the middle of the months. There has been some public outcry. Many of the elderly teachers, obese with health issues, do not want to return to the classrooms. A couple of students in the private schools have already been infected by “super-duper corona.”
If the “super-duper corona” narrative was so important, so life threatening, there would have been a concentrated effort at contact tracing and quarantine. That’s not happening, much like the myth of tourists following the mandatory 14-day quarantine. Well, the “clusterfuck” continues unabated. Who knew?
Addendum: Many of the topics (e.g., face shields, “bubble tourism,”) discussed above were covered previously ad nauseam in Notes, well before the situation spiraled out of control.
