A bit of humour
Please listen to the audio part (not video) at the bottom of the following page :
It's in french, so I'm sorry for those who don't speak it, but you could still be able to appreciate it with a little context. Someone acts a parody of an official governmental statement relative to the coronavirus. He says that he had gathered multiple experts to come up with a strategy to fight it, and that the most convincing measure was proposed by linguists. They indeed claimed that the main way the virus spreads was through splutters, and therefore something was to be done about consonants (for vowels don't produce splutters). So all along the speaking, the speaker specifies the progressive measures that will be taken against consonant sounds, and as he states them he starts to implement them within his own speech. The first week, the 'p' and 'b' sounds go away, replaced by the 'm' sound, during second week 'd' and 't' are replaced by 'n', and so on. The speech slowly decays into the most ridiculous double Dutch (I just found out about this expression, it's really funny, in french we say 'gloubi-boulga', you'd prononce it 'glubi-bulga'), just like should liquefy the self-esteem of such a speaker, back to reality.

Shouldn't we be fighting this?
Personally, I tend to go with my feeling and intuition with regard to the specific situation. But after an initial phase of complete anger and "rebellious" urges, I now consider those a weakness. It's just not worth the trouble and there are many other things I want to spend my energy on. It is...

I am going to have to "bend the Knee" to this BS as well.
Have avoided being masked to this point, but the British Columbia, Health Canada rules changed today.
As of midnight, masks are mandatory in all retail stores and public places, and no one is allowed to visit other households. Stores are now limited to selling "Needful things" only.

I have noticed for decades that the governments add council advertisements and service announcements are always very condescending. They always treat the public and 7 yr old morons. To think that those that produce this crap actually get paid is even more maddening.Man, you got-a love it...
