More Coronavirus Signs and Scenes

Time for some more coronavirus signs and scenes. Funny signs and situations related to the pandemic which I have encountered around town.

Who knew that the COVID-19 pandemic would easily become a marketing ploy?

You buy five of these egg and milk flavored ice cream bars and you get one free mask!  Isn't that great? Not sure how it works though. There is no information on the wrapper.

COVID-19 has been a business boom for just about everyone selling face shields and home made face masks.

Being homemade it is doubtful these are N95 standard masks or that they will offer any protection from the virus. It is a scientific fact that masks offer no protection from the virus at all. But who cares because they are very stylish. Especially for the BDSM set. These would be selling like hotcakes in Canada whose top doctor recommends wearing masks during sex.

School's in session. Somewhat.

Two hours of class time for each grade every day. Surely the kids are loving that.

Here's a situation that is rather dumbfounding.

The PNP has a checkpoint set up but they aren't checking anything. Instead they are blocking traffic with their motorcycles in the middle of the street. What's the point?  Reminds me of this early morning scene from a few months back.

Instead of manning the checkpoint this PNP officer is asleep in a hammock in the middle of the road!  What if one of the huge sugarcane trucks which regularly blows by loses control and rams the checkpoint? Totally pointless. Sleeping on the job.

Here is a notice which is a result of the coronavirus lockdown which really irks me.

This notice is on my water bill. Ever since the lockdowns started in March the electric and water companies have been messing up everyone's bills! Too scared to go out and read the meter the utilities companies let charges pile up. Then when the lockdowns eased everyone, including me, received a huge bill!  The electric company seems to be doing actual reading but the water company is still giving estimates. I know I don't owe as much as they say. After all the water is cut off most times between 8am and noon!

Going to the market ain't what it used to be. I mean it basically is.  But then there's this:

What are these guys going to do? Shoot me if I don't wear a mask?  That would be ridiculous! At least at the public market they take your cash from your hand. But at Starbucks you have to make the transaction if it's by plastic and not cash.

At first this device did not even work so the manager had to come around and turn it on! What's the point? How is having the customer scan their own card going to stop the spread of COVID-19? I would really like to hear a specific answer as to how this set up will fight the virus.

As time passes all these so-called preventative measures continue to get sillier and sillier. We hear about flattening the curve when it comes to COVID-19 cases but when will the curve of silliness be flattened? How much deeper into clown world must we be plunged?

Believe it or not there is a way to fight back. You have to fight silly with silly. Behold my QR code card which I must now carry everywhere in order to transact business. All in the name of contact tracing!

Since they want to mock us it's only fair to mock them.
