What Could Go Wrong?
Stay at
home, it isn’t safe.
The virus is
very infectious, stay away from groups, especially indoors. Practice social distancing and wear a mask.
There are no
bars open. Gyms are closed. Restaurants
are closed. Schools are closed. You can’t even get a haircut.
Stay at
home, it isn’t safe.
We have to
avoid a second surge of the virus.
Young people
are all staying home. The very people
who are less susceptible to the virus are staying home. Hell, where would they go? They have to work from
home or they are suddenly unemployed.
There is no school to go to. Want
to go on a date? Where are you going to
go?
So, young
people, the very people not in very much danger from the virus, (yes, I know
there have been exceptions, there are always exceptions and all you see on the
news are the exceptions) are forced to stay at home.
No dating,
nowhere to go. There is no baseball on TV, no NBA Basketball Finals, no Stanley
Cup Hockey, no Masters Golf, not even boxing, or cage fighting. Hell there isn’t even tennis or bowling. There has been no outlet for boredom in 10
weeks. Ten weeks!
What could
go wrong?
A man is
murdered by a bad cop. By all accounts a
good man and a very bad cop. Millions of
young people with no outlet for boredom, millions of young people with 10 weeks
of pent up energy are suddenly filled with righteous indignation.
What could
go wrong?
This virus
is dangerous. But social distancing does
have unintentional consequences.
Young people
with pent up energy protest police brutality; murder. Protests last all night. These young people don’t have to get up in
the morning and go to work, or school.
They don’t have a date with a pretty young girl, there is no game to run
home to and watch on TV.
What could
go wrong?
It may be
time to restart the country. The virus
is serious, but so are the unintended consequences of forced home confinement,
especially for young people.
What could
go wrong?
