So I kinda noticed several stories over the past week.....where Covid collective psychosis has started up.
Generally, folks feel a bit ill....they get ahold of a Covid test, and they get a positive reading from their at-home test.
So this curious situation starts up.....since they are so hyped-up over news reports....they rush off to the emergency room.
You can imagine....nurse at the front door and trying to halt the couple there. 'We-gotta-get-in' is the response then from the couple.
Nurse finally agrees to test them officially, but then says.....we won't know the results for 24 hours. Well....that's not enough for the couple. The fear of Covid...the fear of Delta....the fear of Omikron......all adds up.
Behind them in the line is probably another five to ten couples/families, and they are just as hyped up.
Pure and absolute psychosis? Yeah.
You've reached the point now where offering them ivermectin is not possible, because they will read off the NBC or PBS description of horse-medication. Trying to educate the customers at the door? Well....that won't work either because they've been personally brief by President Biden.
Talk then starts up.....some folks at the door are fully jabbed-up....some even with a booster shot. Some folks have no vaccination and that gets some criticism by the other folks at the door, who are jabbed. 'You-ought-not-be-here' then gets uttered by the jabbed folks to the non-jabbed.
You can laugh about this, but it's all pretty serious doom stuff for the couple at the door.
