The apocalypse is here! The apocalypse is here! Screamed a random elderly man in front of the church down the street from me. I use to think he was crazy, but turns out he may be right!! The United States set a world record for coronavirus cases, again! Confirming more than 140,000 infections. More than 65,000 people are hospitalized with COVID-19 around the U.S.
Sources say recently, more White House staff have tested positive for the coronavirus after last week's election night gathering. Surprise, surprise, that's what happens when some 250 people are packed in a room with minimal mask protection!! I mean would you go to war without a weapon? NO, Of course not, simply because you will die, right? It's simple math guys. So if you and I know this information and my seven-year-old daughter knows this information, how is it that government officials running this country, don't!? What is this New Norm world we are living in? It's an incompetent world, filled with idiotic government officials who can't even put on a simple mask. They don't care about us! It's up to us now, so buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride well past 2020.
Like all great minds know, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. hold on, I will make it even clearer for you. Our negligence is getting us killed!! Americans Beware, we are dying off!! Our lazy couch potato days are over! It's time to get up and take control of your life. Time to make healthier choices for yourself or you will die!!
10.5 million deaths and Doctors say we may have to begin rationing care as intensive care units fill to capacity. Every state is seeing COVID cases rise. In Western New York the two dozen hospitals in the region have a total of 3,950 beds but only 319 Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. However, for some people, it can cause serious illness. Around 1 in every 5 people who are infected with COVID-19 develop difficulty in breathing and require hospital care. People who are over 60 and people who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, or hypertension are among those who are at greater risk. To avoid what's happening in other countries testing is vital! Doctors and other health care workers have been so overwhelmed by the number of patients that they've had to decide who gets treatment and who does not. How do you decide that? The guidelines determine which coronavirus patients get prioritized for lifesaving care vary by state, involving factors such as age, health problems, pregnancy, and cognitive abilities.
Here in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered new limits on social gatherings in private homes and is ordering bars, restaurants, and gyms to close by 10 p.m., but that didn't stop ‘Diamond Sweet 16’ Party which left 37 Infected and 270 in Quarantine. More than 80 people attended the birthday event, officials said. A Long Island venue was fined $12,000. Here's the gist of it: A venue anywhere with that many people unmasked = Wasted money and possibly death and destruction. P.S, by the way, couldn’t you just cancel that party? We are in a major pandemic that can kill you, Some people, duh! Don't be foolish and think even if there were 60 people or 40 people it would have been any better. If you are not practicing social distancing and wearing masks or doing simple things like washing your hands, you are the problem!! Help your self or it can be fatal! Governor Mike DeWine told residents they can no longer congregate at weddings, funerals, and banquets, and ordered tougher enforcement measures for his statewide mask mandate.
Across the U.S., hospitals and nursing homes are warning of an alarming shortage of masks, surgical gowns, and other personal protective equipment. The Strategic National Stockpile reportedly has less than half of the 300 million N95 masks promised by our “so-called government”.
Ok so here is some truth told by me!
YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER! This is why there are signs everywhere to “Get counted”. You know that annoying little survey they do to keep the cattle at bay, the Census! As that number you have some obligations, follow some rules, some laws, keep things clean, wear a mask, vote, respect each other, yadda, yadda its common sense!! Wearing a mask is too! Protect those around you from infection, COVID-19 is spread from person to person by respiratory droplets, which are largely projected when you cough, sneeze, talk, and sing. Face masks act as barriers, preventing those around you from inhaling these droplets. So stand six feet apart.
A common question is can I be infected with COVID-19 if I am more than 6 feet away? CDC continues to believe, based on current science, that people are more likely to become infected the longer and closer they are to a person with COVID-19. Today's update acknowledges the existence of some published reports showing limited, uncommon circumstances where people with COVID-19 infected others who were more than 6 feet away or shortly after the COVID-19-positive person left an area. There's still much to learn about this new disease, and it may be some time before effective treatments or vaccines can make it safe to return to normal. Until then, wearing masks or cloth face coverings has been shown to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
Protest your views, So it is frustrating to see people who aren't following the advice of medical experts. Why won't some people mask up? Experts think it could be due to things like this:
Educate! DONT DESIMATE!! Some people just don't know!!
Pass it on!! In our new world, everyone is watching, and if we don’t speak up like I’m doing right now, we fail each other as in "The entire human race! Tell the world your story because nothing is promised and we need to hear everyone's voice!!
Be clean! Clean visibly Dirty surfaces with soap and water prior to disinfection. Use an EPA-approved disinfectant against COVID-19, and read the label to make sure it meets your needs. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEl! I cannot stress this enough! READ!! The label will include safety information and application instructions. Also, it's vital to Keep disinfectants out of the reach of children.
Yet still, 10.5 million KNOWN cases, why does it say known, well I know you, know that they know, that, there are many people still not getting tested, we may even know a few! Oh and guess what, they're not all your stereotypical Trump supporter! Coronavirus is not racist or prejudice, and I with my own eyes have seen many adults and children alike, in Buffalo Kansas, N.Y.C, Iowa, Illinois, Denver, and Colorado, not wearing masks!!
Wake the hell up! Stop being distracted by nonsense on the networks! CoVID 19 is here and it is not leaving ANY TIME SOON! Studies say it will most likely be two years or more! What will it take to get through to you!! Yes, yes you! You who won't abide by the rules. Listen, your not rebels, your idiots! Ok, you need it clearer....... This is not a movie!! This is not fake news, and yes you are the cause of killing Americans if you don't follow the rules!! How many more need to die before we decide to be a community of humans united instead of morons letting wars built on ignorance run our lives. We were put here to empower ourselves with knowledge, not gossip. Choose wisely in the information you read and always double-check your references before you post them.
Maybe I'll go stand next to that random old guy and begin screaming truths. I’ll join his rant!! Truly, I feel like if we don't scream we won't be heard!! Let's fight Corona not each other!

Being a Parent of Autism in 2020
Here is your counseling number! I said to 18-year old HFA son. Your 18, If you can play video games for hours you can sign up for college! Make a YouTube page, something! Then, I realize he didn't do it because neither had I. How could I teach what I don't know! Parents of children with disabilities are reminded daily that our kid's maturity level isn't an average young adult's mind. Our job isn't done, as a matter of fact, it has just reset. One in 40 children has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism is a word thrown around more than A.D.H.D. That is why I can not stress enough to get to know your children is step one. Do not be like most Americans and allow them to become Labels or a part of a system that doesn't see them for how individually unique they are. I hate LABELS! We have many worries as parents. Almost half of the people who die at the hands of police have some kind of disability, while police interactions with minorities draw increasing scrutiny, disability, and health considerations are still neglected in media coverage and law enforcement policy. “I’m just different.”That’s what 23-year-old Elijah McClain told police in Aurora, Colorado before they killed him. Unfortunately, there are many in authoritative positions who don't care if our children don't really fit “the description”. So now our stress levels go from 0 to 100!

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

The CEO of Everything
They say "jack of all trades, master of none," but they forgot to mention the part where the jack of all trades is also the camera woman, the makeup artist, and the person currently yelling at a tangled Wii microphone cable in a her own bathroom while recording herself singing and trying to make it look realistic and professional. (As professional as you can make it with nothing but a cell phone camera and a mic that doesn't work)
