I am so fucking done with the apologists for covid deniers. So very fucking done. If you have more problems with the woman who called the cops on the (every weekend for the last several weeks) 100+ person basketball tournament and when they claimed it wasn't their job to enforce the county and state orders, and then took photos of said 100+ person basketball tournament, emailed them to every relevant group (city council, school board--it was located at the middle school), posted the pictures on social media, and actually managed to get something done so it won't happen again next weekend, than you have with the people who think its somehow fucking ok to be having a basketball tournament, I'm assuming that you think the basketball tournament is just fine. Fuck you. I'm proud of that woman. Oh, she should have gone and talked to them and it would have all been ok. Do you seriously fucking believe that? Ignoring the fact that going over to talk to a bunch of people who are socializing without masks is literally risking your own health and life right now, have you ever succeeded in talking an antisocial asshole into not being an antisocial asshole. I can't even usually get people to stop smoking next to playgrounds. No, one random woman going over and talking to them isn't going to accomplish anything. Yup, by the end of the week there aren't going to be any basketball hoops left in Mountain View. No, asshole, that's not the fault of the people complaining, that's the fault of the assholes who can't seem to understand "one household at a time".

I've been stuck in my house since March. I go to the grocery store every couple of weeks. I see my grandmother on those days (92, lives alone, I do her shopping). Sometimes I hang out in my parents' backyard. My only child has played with another kid his age not on facetime 4 times since March. I'm fucking tired of this. Every asshole who refuses to abide by lockdown orders is essentially externalizing the consequences to the rest of us. Its like a giant FUCK YOU. The population won't do the right thing, no level of government has the political will or resources to actually do anything, and I'm going to be stuck in my house for another year.

Fuck everything.
