How do we get back to normal in the new reality?

[Hobie]

Police in parking lots to arrest people?

They didn't even allow members to do a drive in worship....
Baptist church members given $500 tickets for listening to church service in their cars via radio in parking lot

 

[Hobie]

IMHO, the biggest factor re: "normal", is how much we allow the Ds to make these important decisions!!
I'm sure this is one "CRISIS THAT WILL NOT GO TO WASTE" if they ever get power again!!!!!
Keep "NORMAL" in your thoughts as you vote this November, not only for POTUS, but congress critters as well!!

If you look at the news, its always been about control, through fear or panic or other extreme means..

 

[Salty]

and one of my pet peeves is the term they use: "New Normal" Well, that is NOT normal! - that's just more control.

The word that comes to mind.....

Authoritarianism, principle of blind submission to authority, as opposed to individual freedom of thought and action

If restaurants open back up, it's going to be hard to eat with those masks on.

Gotta do some fracking to push the food through the mask...

Here is the latest new normal for flying...
"On Sunday, Spirit Airlines became the latest domestic airline requiring passengers to wear face masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

Starting Monday, passengers on United, Delta and JetBlue will begin wearing them. Spirit's new policy will take effect on May 11, the same day as American, Southwest and Alaska.

The face mask requirement marks the beginning of what's likely to be a prolonged effort to resume domestic and eventually international air travel. "...
Coronavirus: Spirit to require passenger masks, joining Delta, United

And after the plane takes off what would happen if you take off your mask

No mask? You fly, you die. OK, Boomer! Meet the Boomer Remover!

 

[Salty]

No mask? You fly, you die. OK, Boomer! Meet the Boomer Remover!

Hmmmmm --- I wonder what the % of deaths of those who have flown in the past 3 months.....

 

[HankD]

And after the plane takes off what would happen if you take off your mask

the air marshal will throw you out the door

 

[Salty]

the air marshal will throw you out the door

with or without the Army issued parachute?

Thousands flew out of Wuhan to all over the world, remember?

 

[HankD]

with or without the Army issued parachute?

if he's wearing it - OK - if he's not wearing it - OK.

I think things like social distancing and people looking you as if you were Satan if you have allergies.

Restaurants and bowling allies are opening here. But they have people spaced out more and are cleaning better.

If a clean table is the new normal I'm down with that !!!!

The term "new normal" when it's used by the majority of people that are using it is far more insidious than that.

It's referring to a stronger push to an all powerful government, the permanent suspension of some, if not all, Constitutional rights, the continued advance toward globalism, and using the same suspension of rights we've experienced in a so called medical emergency to advance the "climate change" agenda, as well as a guaranteed income for all Americans and illegals, regardless of employment. Socialism of the worst kind.

It mean to fundamentally and forever change our society, and not for the better. They are dropping hints. All you have to do is listen and consider the source. They are dead serious about ending forever the great American experiment that has been ongoing for over 240 years.

That I agree with. I fear we have gone beyond the point of no return, but I hope we have not.

It will be like the no smoking sign, always on. They may just replace it with a 'mask on' sign...

I think that was the underlying purpose to all this.

Here is more of the new normal for stores...
"But, reopening the state comes with limitations, right now restaurants can offer outdoor seating with 6-foot spacing between tables, parties of only 10 or fewer people can be seated and indoor seating is limited to 25-percent capacity. The same capacity limits apply to retail stores, museums and libraries.

Simon Property Group, one of the country's largest mall owners, plans to open 49 shopping centers across the country starting on May 1st.
The company said it will limit the number of entrances to each property and make sure that occupancy does not exceed one person per 50 square feet of space.
Locations will also provide:

• Free CDC-approved masks
• Free hand-sanitizing packets
• Place tape over every other sink and urinal in restrooms so there is proper space between customers
• Put decals on the floors to better direct foot traffic
• Encouraging retailers to make transactions in-store contact less
• Close off drinking fountains and play areas. https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/h...-plan/67-5bb81355-2eb7-478a-ac72-aca72d7d55a9

Simon Property Group is headquartered here in Indianapolis and has a new office building in downtown Indianapolis across the street from the State House.

My guess is that they are hurting very badly from this lockdown insanity.
