cOvid's Metamorphoses: Global Eyes Realize Society DOES exist!

A tiny package of DNA has already, within the span of but a quarter of a year, done more to curb CO2 production, in the form of fossil fuel incineration, or cessation thereof, than an entire generation of blather.

As the ocean heats up to a full degree celsius warmer than the maximum monthly mean, a total media blackout accompanies the threatened acceleration  of the pace of Global Warming. Thus the world faces the year of 2020 with distorted vision.

With all eyes focused instead on its own plight, humanity has chosen to ignore the fact that a slowdown in economic activity, in but one country, has already spiked the temperature of the earth.

Trump's reaction? Line up billionaire "Geniuses" at the government trough to skim off their share of the Corona "MAMAMAMAMY Corona" bonanza, because, after all, just as in WW2, all of a sudden "We're all in this together", it's just that exactly who the "WE" in the "We're" is only made abundantly clear when anyone who is not a billionaire genius tries to get tested:

Now, if you were the leader of a country with basically zero capacity to test suspected carriers of the virus (as an example, a friend of mine just jetted back from Vegas, a destination he never should have gone to, which I told him, but everyone in authority was insisting there was no problemo, so why would anyone listen to me? So he confidently sauntered down the aisle to his seat at the airport and they took off. So there's that).

However, this man is > 65, & immuno-suppressed, so upon his return, he went right to his doctor @ UCSF where they gave him various tests, yet although he had a "bit of a sore throat and  a slight cough", no test for CV-19, not even any advise to self-quarantine.

Now in a country where the tests are beautiful, "They are available and they are beautiful", why would this be? And lest you think lies make no difference, if the Administration weren't insisting that tests were available to anyone who wanted them, they could suggest that, where test kits aren't sufficient, anyone coming into ANY clinic complaining of problems, but that can't be tested, be given a face mask so as to at least not spread the virus to others ... instead, because, "They are available, and they are beautiful", there's no such dictum. Instead, because they refuse to admit that tests aren't available, and form a policy to address that reality, such as insuring anyone who suspects they have the virus wear a mask to protect others, here in this, "We're all in this together" non-society of ours, it's preferable to pretend that we have tests kits aplenty and therefore give no suggestions to the vast majority of places that don't have them as to what to do. Instead, NO masks are allocated to provide to those who suspect they have the virus and thereby prevent spreading it to others ... I guess it's "who cares if they're not MY family?" We've been conditioned for so many generations now to actually laugh in people's faces when calamity strikes them ("You're FIRED!"  ... and the crowd roars their approval ... and anyone who doesn't, anyone who feels an ounce of compassion for the poor sucker that just lost their livelihood knows not to show it since that puts themselves in jeopardy of losing their own job, since they're obviously, oh so, so obviously, simply not the Right Stuff). In fact, all the better for me (Somehow) as I have no responsibility to them, and they certainly have none for me.

The Chinese live by their own law.

Although I'm sure you've seen the mobs at the US airports as a result of our "I'm from Trump's government and I'm here to help" policies, here in San Francisco, where our Mayor declared an emergency before any other county in the State of California, the picture is less blatant. But that photograph above is of my neighbor's backyard. Those are all garbage piles, the refuse from my other neighbors' garbage cans dutifully set out on the curb to be collected by well, presumably Recology. But in actuality they are scavenged through by elderly Chinese, (not US citizens, they are mostly from China, where they have no Social Security, but their relatives who snuck them over, demand they troll through the filth of others to glean a pittance of an existence by stealing from Recology, absconding with the only part of the trash that gives Recology a profit margin, thus raising the bills of every Recology customer so as to pay the old-age pension for these poor UNdocumented workers).

From trash bin to trash bin they troll nightly, dragging the filth of San Francisco with them and leaving the bins with any Corona virus thus deposited to spread to their unsuspecting citizens (many people somehow have no idea or more  often, simply don't think about it because, heaven forbid, they will get severely sanctioned for being insensitive, or racist ... never mind that the Chinese will break both your legs should they see you horning in on their action).

Make no mistake, this is big business, with payoffs at City Hall to allow this grand theft to continue. Which no one really cared about, but how can a City declare an "Emergency", a health emergency no less, and simply shrug their shoulders at this extremely likely vector of contagion: Every person in the City has to take in these bins that have been gone over by Chinese who wear gloves for their own protection, but those gloves don't prevent them from spreading infection to the actual OWners of the bins who must drag them INSIDE (or receive a citation) to their living quarters or garage, where they have to touch the exact same lids, in the exact same places their nocturnal visitors have handled them, every time they put garbage in them.

Let me make it clear: none of that debris pictured above that is daily being dragged through their house to the backyard is collected from anywhere but other people's trash (I see them every night and many days, other people's Recology bins: Every single one of those cans and bottles pictured above would have already been collected by Recology and safely trucked out of the City weeks ago. Instead, they are collected into these enormous piles of germ-infested heaps hidden throughout the City (just think of what goes into your garbage that they then paw through to reap their ill-gotten gains: tissues discarded after blowing your nose being the most dangerous, but there are plenty of other nasties). Even in the best of times this is a Public Health hazard, and now, it's unconscionable that a full three weeks after declaring a "Health Emergency" (yeah right), and now insisting that everybody else remain in their domiciles, San Francisco's "leaders" sanction this off-hand dismissal of their efforts to protect the public from a Pandemic.  

But that's how San Francisco handles an emergency.

That our unfortunate fellow human beings have to stoop to this in order to be allowed to live with their family (when a black man in the Bayview  accosted one of them for their theft, a woman started screaming at him ,"It's for the FAMily" it's to feed his FAMily" (How does SHE know? She didn't even know the guy) ... in other words, back off: Chinese lives matter, Black lives don't ... I guess they learned that from us).

Tonight is trash night. They're'll be swarms of them back out there just like every other trash night. They are too  down-trodden themselves to really care about what effect their activity has on anybody else.

Which highlights the hypocrisy of being a Sanctuary city: Especially here in America. It's deplorable that the citizens whose labor actually pays the taxes that pay the salaries of the best-pensioned Public employees in the State allow their demagoguery to endanger its citizens by allowing people who pay NO taxes, and in fact deliver only higher Trash Disposal bills to those who do, to endanger its citizens' health.

THEY won't be taking 14 days off work, they can't. But the City of San Francisco needs to stop acting like the President they revile so much by copying his favorite dodge and pretending that as long as you don't see it it can't hurt you.
