Mood Poisoning in Current Events

I just got off the phone with my doctor. Well, he wasn’t my doctor so it was quite the trip him reading my doctor’s notes back to me. I’m painted out to be some stressed out alcoholic who needs a shaman. I made him correct those notes, I do not have a drinking problem. wtf? Anyway, I wish I was able to just be seen there. I’ll call back tomorrow and try and be a Karen about it. He’s e-mailed me a requisition for some bloodwork and I’ll be sent a letter from a hospital with an appointment to get an ultrasound on my throat. When he drafted up the requisition for bloodwork he acted like I was suffering from veganism. Then he gave me an attitude about not getting a flu shot. I’m only a boomer in gay years buddy. It would probably save a lot of time if he could just grab my throat and tell me if my thyroid is a problem. It could be something else that is obvious to him. Maybe it’s my tonsils? I’m thin so my thyroid could just be prominent because of that he said. It’s going to be months before I get in for that ultrasound. If I get diagnosed with cancer it will be almost a year before I start treatment because that’s free healthcare in Canada. You pay into it hoping it will be there for you right when you need it but then there is a really really long queue and fax machines. We’re still using fax machines. I’m not over that we’re in the middle of a “pandemic” and still using fax machines. We’re getting our tax dollars worth right there. Can we normalize slapping people who believe that healthcare is free?

I woke up in a bad mood today. I feel like I’m understanding but not understood. That was a weird feeling to wake up to. Cable news created a cult. People think the news is gospel and I can’t get them to see the light. My city is probably going to drop down to two grocery stores soon and two gas pumps and a 7 pm bedtime because science. Everybody wants to argue about masks and ignore the real science problems. The PCR. The Portuguese court has brain cells apparently. They ruled that the PCR tests are unreliable and so it is unlawful to quarantine people. If that made it to the cult of news worshippers over here I wonder how they would react. No that’s fake news and you’re a heretic so I must insult you now and we just need to wear our super masks and everything will be okay. Yeah, everything is only because not everyone is wearing their super masks. We’re saving the world with these lockdowns and super masks. I’m the good guy in this made-up hero story. All hail the news and wear your super masks. There is nothing more to know beyond the cable news, stop being ignorant about that you conspiracy theorist just wear the damn mask and it will all be over soon and we’ll all be in poverty together soon enough and we can just blame the people who didn’t wear super masks and not our ignorance and honest politicians. That evangelist friend of mine is a microbiologist and I forgot about that. We only talk online. He casually mentioned in one of my posts how magical this COVID isn’t. It doesn’t magically spread differently than other coronaviruses. I have so many questions for him next time we talk.
