A normal summer?

"We need to realize that (thanks to the CCP), Covid-19 may be with us maybe forever. Or, it might just mutate itself into oblivion, and disappear. In any event, we (as a nation) have spent over a year playing duck and cover. Enough."

Today is May 6th. The day after Cinco de Mayo. A few days before Mother's Day. It is the National Day of Prayer (which we should have weekly, instead of yearly). We have been told by our Governor, who always is on the level with us about the pandemic (a bit of satire), we might have a normal summer. Say what? Here is a news flash for the Governor, the President, or whomever. We ARE going to have a normal summer. Period. End of story.

If I were in charge, this is how summer would look. Twins - Starting in June, every game should be as full as fans want it to be. I mean, over 50% of us will be vaccinated by that time, and even some doctors are admitting there are certain folks who have natural immunity. Or anti-bodies from having Covid earlier. So, PLAY BALL! Sell that sucker out! BTW - the same applies to the Vikings this fall. Sell that sucker out also!

State Fair. No, we are not looking at it. We are doing it! The vendors can claim their spots, the entertainers can get booked, and the Midway should be fully operational. By Mid-August, we should have over 60% vaccinated. I mean, the reason most of us volunteered to have the jab with this new vaccine, was to get back to normal. What we have had in 2020 and so far in 2021, does not cut it. Not in my normal category.

Restaurants? Fully open in June. This stupidity of wearing mask in the front door and then taking it off when you get seated has got to stop. It makes no sense. In addition, all bars open like they were before the pandemic. Same with movie theaters. And gyms. Plus concerts, both inside and outside. 

Finally churches. I think they have been hit the hardest of all. Open them up, no social seating in the pews, and masks will only be voluntary. It is nice to go to church again, rather than watching it on the computer. But it is still not normal. Having church be church again, like it was before the pandemic, would really help - all of us.

We need to realize that (thanks to the CCP), Covid-19 may be with us maybe forever. Or, it might just mutate itself into oblivion, and disappear. In any event, we (as a nation) have spent over a year playing duck and cover. Enough.

Our Governor should declare June 1st, as the first day of "return to normal". It is time. We are long overdue. Time to start living again.
