Does Covid-19 have a cruel moralistic (and political) agenda of its own?
As the national lockdown continues to ravage our economy and destroy any vestige of liberty (#EndtheLockdown), we are now hearing more and more advice about how to avoid the contagion of the virus from Wuhan, China (#WuhanVirus) especially in regards to our lifestyle. On the one hand we have no quarrel with the wisdom of wearing a mask in certain situations, or keeping those who are especially vulnerable as isolated as possible.
But we note the advice now appears to have taken a moralistic turn. We are told to stay indoors, avoid the gym, and indeed, Democratic governors (and socialists around the world) are having people arrested for all sorts of solitary outdoors activities, like dog walking, sitting on a bench, or paddle boarding alone (#CovidNazis).
But we are also told obesity is a key risk factor. So stay indoors and don't exercise by being a dog walker, walking to a bench to sit, or paddling in the ocean. Just remain slim while you binge watch.
We are also told to stay at home and socialize virtually. But we are also told that consuming alcohol is a risk factor, as is, of course, vaping and smoking.
Is this the first virus ever with its own moral agenda?
No wonder humorless leftists, including the left-wing Twitter mob, are so happy with #stayathome. They just love telling you what to do. Indeed, perhaps the worst women in America, Gretchen Whitmer (and remember we still have Ms. Clinton, AOC, and Nancy Pelosi) is quite happy telling people they cannot protest her dictates, go to their own homes, or visit the gardening section of a store that is otherwise open ("#LockHerUp"). Actually, it's pure genius. Ignore the Constitution and argue that any political dissent "costs lives." As only a true authoritarian would say, Ms. Whitmer says the protest could "prolong" the lockdown.
Speak out about your treatment bud, and your sentence is extended.
Don't go to work and stay home.
Don't exercise and don't gain weight
And a glass of wine?

Exactly! Stay at home to get fatter, become more distant from nature, and don't forget..... kill small business!
