<p>While there are too many who&#8217;ve determined that not observing their #SocialDistancing policy will get us all killed, not all are onboard.</p>

We find that social distancing is associated with a statistically-significant reduction in the doubling rate for all but three states. At the same time, <strong>we do not find significant evidence that social distancing has resulted in a reduction in the number of daily confirmed cases</strong>. Instead, social distancing has merely stabilized the spread of the disease.</span><br />

<p>Those on the right side of things would look at these goofy-ass &#8220;hats&#8221; and prefer to frequent cafes that didn&#8217;t demand we look like idiots on the street just for the privilege of spending our money there. But it gets even more stupid for appearances sake.</p>

<p>How many so-called &#8220;ambassadors&#8221; roam the streets, looking for those who aren&#8217;t obeying their fearless leaders and reporting them for possible detention and/or arrest? Redefining words when it suits their agenda again.</p>

<p>Given the nature and stereotype of the &#8220;rap group&#8221;, why would anyone expect them to obey the law, let alone what&#8217;s supposed to be a temporary guideline? Outside of some Democrat mayors, it appears the most angry about the infringment on their growing safe space are white liberals, and liberals are liberals worldwide.</p>

Right now, it’s Lord of the Flies on social media and people are turning on one another faster than ferrets down a Yorkshireman’s trousers. <strong>The suburbs are infested with the kind of people who, had they been living in Berlin in 1938, might have been inclined to whisper, “Psst, Sturmscharführer, there are Jews living in number seven.”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">I have never seen white South Africans so demanding, judgemental and united in wanting to “do the right thing”. If only they had been this outspoken during apartheid. <strong>Facebook is awash in posts from self-appointed informants – people who were almost certainly prefects at school.</strong> In my area, a woman is asking if anyone has a drone to monitor the streets. Ideally, I imagine, a weaponised one capable of swooping in and firing poisoned darts into an errant cyclist’s back.</span><br />

<p>Interesting and pertinent comparisons.</p>
<p>And how about some new accessories for the tech-dependent snitches?</p>

<p>Obviously, this will not only tell the wearer when he or she is too close to another individual, but it probably collects data on how many &#8220;violations&#8221; were performed. How long before it can <em>(and will)</em> deliver electric shocks, just like those wonderful dog collars that punish when a boundary is breached?</p>

<p>This is purely a personal problem.</p>

If anyone is losing friends, it&#8217;s liberals who extract themselves from those who dare not capitulate to their demands of social distancing.</p>
<p>Next they&#8217;ll be lamenting their self-imposed, lonely, COVID-19 mental illness.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“<strong>The mental health and well-being of whole societies have been severely impacted by this crisis and are a priority to be addressed urgently</strong>,” Devora Kestel, head of the W.H.O.’s mental health department said.</span><br />

<p>Like any and all those who&#8217;ve recently died and having it being documented as a result of COVID-19, liberals will try to blame their psychosis on the virus. But like other variations on the Coronavirus theme, progressive insanity has long since predated the current pandemic even though the symptoms are now much more pronounced.</p>
