Modified Quarantine

Last week, May 10th, CNN reported that Dr Anthony Faucci had some limited contact with a White House staffer who tested positive for Covid, and was entering into "limited isolation".  Whatever the hell that means.

I know what it means if I was tested positive for the Covid.  I'd be ordered to stay home for 14 days.  That's pretty much been the message since Day 1 of this disaster.  We peasants are required to stay home.  Not go out, slow the spread.  All the bullshit that we have been told for the last 61 days.  But who's counting.

No ol' Doc Faucci.  He couldn't wait a whole week.  Here's a screen grab from Laura Ingraham's show yesterday.


Yeah, that's Doc Faucci standing behind the president.  We now know what he thinks about isolation and quarantine.  Not for him.  He's a Super-Star.

Ingraham's angle (since I used her screen shot) doesn't focus so much on Faucci's hypocrisy as it does on the contempt that democratic governors hold their constituents.

And, that's true.  The idea was to flatten the curve, not to find a cure or get a vaccine.  We have flattened the curve and averted a crisis in our hospitals.  Now, it's time to open up, wide open.  We should open just as hard as we shut down.  In three days, not three months.  Now, democratic governors are dragging the goalposts.

If anyone tells me to go into isolation, I'm going to tell them that I'll follow Doc Faucci's example, and ignore them.

Actually, we probably didn't flatten the curve. It appears to have been too late.
