Covid logic???

[red750]

Me at the Supermarket:

Why is there plastic on the payment keypad?

Cashier: to protect people from Covid.

Me: but isn’t everyone touching the plastic keypad the same way they would the regular keypad?

Cashier: no words. Confused look.

 

Me: Why Don’t you pack the grocery bags anymore?

Cashier: Bec au se of Covid -19 to reduce the spread of catching or spreading the virus.

Me: But a shelf packer took it out of a box and put it on the shelf, a few customers might have picked it up and put back deciding they Don’t want it, I put it in my cart then on the conveyor belt, YOU pick it up
to scan it... But putting it in a bag after you scan is risky??

Cashier: no words, confused look

 

Me at the drive through

Server: (holds a tray out the window with a bag of food for logical friend to grab)

Me: why is my bag of food on a tray?

Server: so I don’t touch your food bec au se of Covid.

Me: didn’t the cook touch my food? Didn’t the person wrapping my food touch it and then touch it again when placing it in my bag? Didn’t you touch the bag and put it on the tray? Didn’t you touch the tray?

Server: no words. Confused look.

Me in society

Society ; If you cough or sneeze do it in your elbow or sleeve,

Also society : Don’t shake hands or hug anyone or you will spread the virus.. To greet people do an elbow tap instead.

Me : Elbow tap ? Isn't that where you tell people to sneeze or cough? into their elbow? Now you want people to tap each other with that elbow wouldn't it be safer to sneeze into elbow and shake hands like we did before Covid

===============

Me at a restaurant:

Hostess: OK, I can seat you at this table right here (4 feet away), but I will need you to wear a mask to the table.

Me: what happens when I get to the table?

Hostess: you can take off the mask.

Me: then it is safe over there?

Hostess: yes.

Me: are those fans blowing above the table? Is that the air-conditioning I feel? Is the air circulating in here?

Hostess: no words. Confused look.

Me in society:

You are not allowed to stand and drink at the pub you have to sit down.
But at the shopping centre you are not allowed to sit down, all the chairs are roped off.
Who thinks this shit up?

Life is hard for logical people right now.

We are being raised without the ability to process and execute logic I can't take the credit for this as I received it as an email but just thought it sums up the current restrictions so well

The answer to your questions is "Bureaucrats"

Don't expect anything sensible from them. Nor their offspring "Politicians"

My local pharmacist has plastic over the EFPOS machine.  The reason is that whilst pay wave customers am usually not actually making contact or at least fleeting contact.   The reason they have it is for customers who use the keypad.     At my pharmacy they then either replace the plastic or sometimes sanitize it the plastic preventing alcohol sanitizer getting into the buttons.  Seems logical to me.   It is not unlike the way dentists wrap some dental equipment.

Apres 11/10/21 logic.

 

Lockdown ends! You can now go places you haven't been able to go to for months.

 

BUT

 

If you want to go inside a public building which is a shopping centre,

1. Wear a mask at all times, except when seated and consuming food.
2. Check-in at the entrance to the centre.
3. Check-out of the centre and into each shop you enter.
4. Produce your online Proof of Vaccination certificate before you enter each shop.
5. Check out of each shop as you leave and check-in to the centre as you move to the next shop.
6. Repeats Step 3 to 5 as you carry out your business in the centre.
7. Check out of the centre as you leave.

 

Since the Hire-a-Cops at the entrances to shops will only accept Proof of Vaccination certificates displayed on a Smartphone, it now becomes compulsory to carry a Smartphone.

In Vic, you check in, but not out. They have no record of you leaving. 

 

In quarantine, you can only leave the house to check the mailbox or put out the wheelie bins.

Oh to be in Qld away from the SE corner. Life goes on the same as it always did, except that we take a bit more care. The downside is that a large part of the population are complacent. I think we have just about the lowest innoculation rates in the country, apart from the aboriginal settlements. I dread to think what will happen to our hospital system, when we open up to the other states. It can barely cope with the non covid situation, so disaster looms.

That will no doubt happen just before the coming federal election so our Labor premier will be able to blame it on ScumBag

You have it RS about Yenn. When your state is overwhelmed by a forced opening up you won't be innoculated enough and the Fault will be blamed on your Premier. Dutton never lets up on her, Unforgivably, SHE won the last election AND she's also a woman. Double demerit. Nev

In the eyes of the LNP, she's got quadruple double demerit points. She's won the last three elections. The first one in 2015, she went to the election with nine seats after winning a couple of them in by-elections. At one stage they had only seven seats in parliament and there were jokes about them all sharing the Labor mini bus to parliament House. She needed to win 36 new seats to take government and pulled it off. It was a total humiliation for the LNP and they will never forgive her. She's Murdoch's enemy #1.

 

Her current term is the first of the new fixed four year terms in Queensland. By the time she finishes it, Queensland conservatives (LNP and it's forerunner Liberal/National coalition) will have only done one term in government in 28 years. Annastacia's success shines a light on the LNP's failures and they hate her for it. You often hear LNP voters say she's an idiot, moron etc.. Well, what does that say for the LNP if a moron can beat them at three elections?

 

And as an edit, she will quite possibly win a fifth and sixth term. I've said it before, the last time the LNP in Queensland had an original thought, it died of loneliness.
