Oh the irony.
A mere nine days after whining on Facebook that social media was making a mountain out of a coronavirus mole hill, Mayor “Pendulum” Talbert has swung way too far the OTHER way and announced (on her hated social media, no less!) that the tiny town of Lampasas (population density 1000 people per square mile) is now on lockdown – just like New York City.
FYI, New York City has a population density of about 28,000 per square mile AND has HALF of all coronavirus cases in the country right now. So a lockdown there makes total sense.
Talk about hysteria!
All “non-essential” businesses are now closed. Of course, the list of ‘essential’ businesses is long and distinguished. Like my schlong. So not much has REALLY changed except hair dressers and barbers are getting a big fat shaft. I guess Mayor Pendulum needed to look ‘mayoral’ and DO SOMETHING…even though the state has already put guidelines in place that seem like MORE than enough to most people.
I’m thinking this act of ‘hysteria’ and unnecessary EXTRA orders on TOP of the Governor’s orders will mark the peak of panic for this whole episode. Italy is already seeing a small drop in the rate of daily deaths. I think the thing she doesn’t understand (math again!) is that fully HALF of the cases are in New York City. And most of the rest are in Washington and California. In terms of cases PER CAPITA, Texas is already doing extremely well with the measures taken weeks ago. So Mayor Pendulum’s actions sure seem ridiculous and unwarranted…and are angering a few people!
Poor Mayor Pendulum…wrong TWICE in ten days!
