Social distancing, in the new age of dysfunctional society, has never been an issue for me, as I tend to shrug off the company of humans, and my entertainment needs are simple.  Actually, humans are my entertainment most days.  When shopping, I’m not a browser.  I know what I want, and I go get it.  I loathe pubs and the quality of fiend which it attracts.  I’m not particularly thrilled with bars or clubs, and while I would enjoy the odd night out, I’m certainly not going to become prostrate with grief if I don’t set foot in one for years.  Theatre will be missed, but only slightly.  I enjoy the theatre; not the denizens who sit in the audience spilling their beer and making it into a sing-a-long.  Quick on the heels of that, the cinema, with its overpriced everything, and the loathesome spawn of someone’s loins.  Thank the heavens that my husband always chose the non-children viewing times and the VIP seats.  Restaurants may suffer the lack of my coin; I did enjoy dining out.

I am only slightly inconvenienced with the fact that when I do choose to set foot inside an establishment, I have to wear my face shield.  I can’t wear a mask as I can’t breathe with one on.  My groceries I pick up or have delivered.  I’m perfectly content to stay at home, cook my meals, spend time with the cats, and watch the plethora of movies which my late husband and I collected.

When this whole fiasco of coronavirus is over and done with, and they hysterics are safely back in their padded rooms, I will be able to say that:

1. I didn’t wear a mask.
2. I didn’t wear gloves.
3. I didn’t change my hand-washing patterns.
4. I went into the office every single day I was scheduled to be there.
5. I observed the required social distancing while out on the town.
6. I worked out at home.
7. I had the normal required amount of toilet paper / hand sanitizer in my home.
8. I didn’t call my relatives / friends / associates to check on their well-being every week.
9. I didn’t feel lonely, lost, bored, or otherwise suffering any form of angst.
10. I didn’t even contemplate, in my darkest of moments, the concept of shucking off this mortal coil.

While I don’t dismiss the fact that this was an outbreak, and while I don’t dismiss that many lost their loved ones, I do think that the human race has become prone to hysteria and hyperbole, as demonstrated by the majority of governments out there, twisting the facts to suit their own agendas.

Someone out there is making a whole lot of money off other people’s fear and hypochondria.
