Three Drams Full
Monday, February 21. Dunedin
Big drama in my second daughter’s flat, maybe one of them has symptoms, seems very possible it could be …. and OMG if it IS Omicron they have SO many close contacts… they’ve bundled themselves all into a car and driven down to a testing station to join the queue and check themselves out.
Chicken Little, the sky is falling on their heads.
Thank goodness she and all her office are already sorted to work from home. That dangerous and deadly Omicron for a teeny tiny percentage of the population especially those with co-morbidities will be much better controlled now. “Look after your whanau, your loved ones”. “Stay safe”. “Be kind”. “It’s coming to get you”.
Chicken Little, the sky is falling on their heads.
She and her friends have their plans. They’re all set up, extra food in the pantry, ordering merch on-line, their flat is their base. OMG, hope that friendly neighbourhood cat we’ve been stroking isn’t a super spreader… Lordie, glad we don’t have shifts at that local sit-down café, super quiet down there. But the drive-throughs are super busy.
Chicken Little, the sky is falling on their heads.
Did you hear the latest daily case count? Massive! What if we all get it at once? Yeah, yeah, we’ve all been double shot and boosted, yeah, yeah, we know it makes no difference, we will still get it and pass it on…. Don’t ask me, don’t talk to me, about why get the shots in the first place? OMG this is such a drama, such a thing.
Chicken Little, the sky is falling on their heads.
OMG we’ve never had Omicron before. Fresher flu is so last year. This is BIG, this is exciting, Cindy says so, the other experts say so too…. There COULD be thousands about to die. There COULD be all young ones and old ones dead very soon, gosh is that a carbon neutral thing? Like, how are we going to SURVIVE?
Chicken Little, the sky is falling on their heads.
This is such a drama, such a thing. We’re so affected, so excited. It’s so risky. Don’t stop the ads, Cindy, don’t stop being worried, kind and smiley sincere. Ashley, keep styling your hair. Nah, don’t feed us the boring shit; nah, we don’t wanna know it’s nearly all vaccinateds in hospital. Nah, don’t wanna know about graphene oxide and other nano particles. We got jabbed, we’re part of the crew. OMG this is so fun!
