Muzzling

Summer holiday opening perspective, though madness of fascist regime and confused, fearful populace carries on to keep us on our toes ... the latest wheeze dividing the people, as virus takes a break ... maybe a feature of this one, according to expert, uncorrupted epidemiologists. .. a seasonal event, explaining Australian outbreaks, Kiwis suppressing it for now ...

So, soon after the easing of restrictions to allow the tourist trade to function, a call for face covering from customers in shops, mandatory except for phobics. .. shop staff, meanwhile exempted ... sensible cover for the scapegoats, since the current vogue for masks, especially ones resembling sanitary pads, are unsafe if used all day ... cheerleading media say masks and encourage fearful folk to castigate those with another view ... dividing family and friends ... let's see how that plays out ... looks like the junta will carry on with their devious games as long as we comply ... no police action required when we control each other.

Speaking of police, they are hard to find on holiday in the rural and rather wealthy South ... community stations unstaffed,  as proper information sought out regarding the masked balls-up due Friday ... or is it Saturday?

Enquiries of shopkeepers so far agree: face covering required, masks cheaper and easier and ludicrously trendy, muzzles metaphorical ... none of it thank you somewhat optional for phobics ... staff use clearly optional and rightly so, since prolonged wearing surely detrimental to lung function.

This holiday mostly not focusing on the madness, but stepping back ... enjoying some nostalgia, not what it used to be, apparently ... camping or posh hotel? All the same to me ... though weather makes the difference ... open ended still, one week on .. slowly West ... Studland Bay today and booked tomorrow too ... after that, who knows? Let's see!
