Well, it has happened. We have been exposed to socialism/fascism. The pandemic has given our elected leaders the power to regulate our businesses and lives like never before. The liberal left is trying to prolong the shutdown probably to cripple our economy to prevent Trump’s reelection. But their objective of turning us into a socialistic society has come true. I went to church this morning in spite of our ministers’ telling us to stay home and watch them on YouTube again. The church was open, and I had to be tested and complete a questionnaire, with my printed name and signature, that included my temperature (97.1) before being allowed in. The pews were taped off with every third pew available. Each pew had tape separating it into thirds, making only the ends available to sit. The woman who sang during the mock collection wore a mask as she sang though there was no one within 20 feet of her. The ministers stayed away from those of us who attended when we left the church. I belong to a very liberal church, and when Trump asked for the churches to become essential and open their doors, I expected ours to defy that recommendation. They did. Closing churches is wished for by only one entity and that is Satan. He has succeeded for a while. What is really odd is that I have been able to walk into Walmart, drugstores and grocery stores with only the store trying to limit the number of people allowed in. I’m shopping with a hundred other people, with many not wearing masks and picking up fruits and vegetables with their hands and putting them back with no effort to sanitize them or protect the produce from touching. With 2 Walmarts and many groceries and drugstores, our incidence of viral infection has remained low—with most cases being in nursing homes.

After 7 weeks I got a haircut. Since I’m bald, you might think that I probably didn’t need one, except that I had enough hair to make a Trump swirl. There were the 2 young women owners and another customer in a chair 10 feet from me at the hair salon. The shop had been closed for 7 weeks due to the governor’s orders, and the owners had not been able to receive any assistance though they had applied for a small business loan as soon as they were made available. They told me that they would have gone out of business if they did not have husbands who were working. When I was finished, they called their next appointment to come in. Last evening, my wife and I went to our favorite restaurant to eat. We were allowed to sit on their deck only, which was limited in seating. The rest of the restaurant was empty. We drank water out of paper cups and had a menu that was destroyed after we used it. The waiters wore face masks, and the tables were far apart. The restaurant had been closed except for takeout orders for 7 weeks with most of the staff laid off. Many of their competitors are going out of business because they could not survive 7 weeks of no income. My coffee shop has been closed except for takeout orders for 7 weeks and remains so along with many other shops and outlets.
