Sorting Things Out...Best I Can

Legendary Major League Baseball pitcher, Leroy 'Satchel' Paige when asked what he did in his spare time said, "Oh, sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits." Me too, Leroy and I mostly enjoy just the 'sits' because thinking these days can cause brain-clutter-confusion.

Here's just a few things that I attempt to sort out:

 1) As soon as the coronavirus hit us and we were told to stay home, why did folks buy up all the toilet paper in stores? I didn't hear that one of the virus symptoms was the howlin'-skitters. Toilet paper?

 2) Shorty after that 'run' on stores, we were told that we must wash our hands frequently and for a duration of two 'Happy Birthday' songs. If we didn't have soap available then use hand sanitizer. I could not find hand sanitizer anywhere after that warning.

 3) Also, when bringing groceries into the house, we were told we needed to use sanitize wipes on every product plus all counter tops, door knobs and light switches. Upon that warning all sanitizing wipes disappeared from grocery store shelves.  In fact, the local Target Store manager told me that all Target stores in the States of Washington and California bought up all his sanitizing products before he could put them on his local shelves.

 4) More recently, President Trump suggested that disinfectants might attack the virus in the lungs and make it disappear...then two things happened: disinfectants sold out and poison control calls increased 40%.

 5) Why does the President frequently say, "I'm not a doctor," and then gives doctoring advice?

 6) If the director of The Center for Disease Control and the infectious disease expert, Dr. Fauci are going to counterdict the President at these Coronavirus briefings shouldn't somebody just stay away?

 7) First awe were adamantly told that we did not need face masks and now we have cities across America where one cannot bebin public without wearing a mask. What's a flea to believe?

 8) Currently, we have this ridiculous debate regarding re-opening businesses or not re-opening businesses. That's easily resolved>Seems to me that we should re-open all businesses when all the nation hospitals re-open. Simply stated, when family members are once again allowed to sit at bedside of a dying loved one then open the tattoo parlors and bowling alleys.

Oh, by the way there will be a shortage of pork and chicken at the grocery stores due to coronavirus shutdowns at processing plants. And...you best hope your freezer does not go out as did my friends. She cannot find a freezer for sale in the entire city of Decatur. Wonder why? Speaking of wondering, I wonder if the Berean Christian Book Stores have sold out Bibles?
