So, after asking that people NOT gather outside their household for Thanksgiving, the Mayor of Denver has gone out to see his daughter in another state, ON A PLANE. This seriously undermines the message, and is a slap in the face to those of us who have been doing EXACTLY as asked. We switched to curbside only for anything locally purchased in the past month, and cancelled any potential in-person Thanksgiving plans in favor of video, our RPG has already been held over video for over nine months, and we've put a moratorium on having singles over since the numbers started rocketing up, and will be maintaining that until the things like the positivity are down around 2-3% again, assuming the CDC doesn't just recommend that we not have that at all.
I'm really done with all this. We'll still be sacrificing, but if people start griping about restrictions have killed all the places they used to go to, I'm going to ask them POINT BLANK if they followed all the recommendations at the maximum when they came up, and point out that, even if they didn't get sick, they contributed to the very economic bloodbath of which they complain about. And we're probably going to make changes to our lifestyle so that this garbage doesn't impact us as heavily in the future. Read: events will be rated on the likelihood we'd lose them, possibly permanently, in another pandemic, and weighed against any other benefits we get.
