Gov. Walz MN) just finished a press conference indicating that citizens of Minnesota are going to have to adopt more extreme measures to control the spread of the virus. When he was finished I took my daily walk around the neighborhood to get out a little and get some exercise. I have been trying to find something to take a picture of and post to Instagram (I also see my post from yesterday.
I ended up with this photo. It was not what I had in mind. At first I just stood there and stared. Really, gathering to tailgate in blatant disregard for the safety of your fellow citizens. A couple of the women gave me that universal signal to express their displeasure. Really brave I guess. I took a picture and left.
I try not to use the type of language to express my displeasure as that used by that North Dakota politician. How about – some folks are just self-centered and unwilling to exercise a sense a responsibility to others. How many times is it necessary to explain – you have every right to put yourself in situations in which you are at risk. You DO NOT have the right to knowingly expose yourself to a highly communicable disease you could easily pass on to others. Your behavior either indicates you are not capable of intellectually processing what this means or you are so self-centered that it is obvious you don’t care.
