Covid Thoughts
2020. What a year. Sadness on so many levels. From a food standpoint, a most interesting year. Mostly bad, but some fascinating revelations. We didn't go out to dine-in so much. But, we did get lots of takeout. I assume we have gained significant weight as a society. In fact, a recent report revealed that due to the crazy year, we will all live one year less. Actually, two or three years less depending on your skin color. And, we all learned how to cook. We discovered that eating at home was actually better, healthier and less costly than eating out. New recipes were tried out. We opened up our minds and stomachs to new treats. Let's always look at the positives. A few other Covid thoughts -
• Why do people look so much better in masks? A woman walks in a room with a mask on. She looks good. Apparently very attractive. Pretty eyes. Hair ok. The mask comes off and she looks rough. No makeup. Bad teeth. Ugly, if any, smile. Older than first thought. Maybe we need to wear masks forever. I am going to lobby for mandatory Burkas
• Does Covid only exist 4' and higher? Is there no Covid when we sit down? We have to wear masks walking in and out of a restaurant or if we go to the bathroom. But as long as we sit, we are immune
• Smiling takes effort. With masks, we will never have to smile again. And, we can make nasty faces and stick out our tongue, all while saying "have a nice day." Hypocrisy can be taken to a new level
• What's up with these restaurants still not allowing eat-in dining? Even at any percentage. That is as far left (or right) crazy as anything. Starbucks has been closed to eat-in forever (remember they are headquartered in Seattle). So has Chick fil A. Panera has never closed. Waffle House has a "Welcome Covid" sign on their doors. I hate hypocrisy and inconsistency. Open up
Last thought for now. I implore all of you to get your Covid vaccine. There is no government conspiracy. You won't start glowing. The government is not putting a tracking chip in you. You WILL save your life and others. Stop hesitating. Get your vaccine
