Just one shot !!

At this moment quite often about the Covid idiocy.

You see, Eric and I are somewhat Rednecks, we like to shoot rifles, guns, only preferably at a shooting range and otherwise diagonally in our garden.

Just to be clear. we do not shoot animals, but those cheap plastic cowboys and Indians figurines or champagne corks are never safe in our house!

So back to our shower conversation: so you can have an appointment with your nailstylist and I cannot shoot at the range.

The thing has an adapted airco, to catch all the gunpowder fumes, so the risk of actually catching Covid must be near 0%.

Frankly he should not really ask me, I am utterly disgusted about the hopscotch rules they seem to think up in order to make our lives miserable, I am probably a “wappie” which according to our Prime Minister mr Rutte, means that I know something of it, but not enough to talk intelligent about it, a meaning shared some of my facebook friends.

But like to think I am more of a “snappie” which comes from: Snap je het nog? (do you still understand?) and yes I like to think that I am starting to understand that this (and many other) government (s) has made a huge Feck up of this pandemic and will not stop making more of those while we go along!!

Although they have huge offices full of their bureaucrats, ruling the country, they have not yet figured out what is and above all what is not a risk.

While relying on thinking that we are somewhat of a laid back country, never expecting to get any protest like we will be getting in the next couple of weeks, because most of us are getting truly fed up with all these ridiculous rulings while we see evidence coming past, which shows the contrary to these rules.

And yes I have a lot to lose!

I have to best mother in law I could ever wish for, a legacy from Eric for which I have always been very grateful. She is the best there is and has a good head on her shoulder with loads of common sense.

And she has told my son that she prefers to die soon, if this lockdown is not lifted, because for a whole year her life has not been worth living!

Now the garden center has been taking away, she is starting to hate life: no more meeting other people is a death sentence for her.

And then you read the articles in the biospace, whereby it is proven that there is a 70% drop in Covid after the first shot and my “snappie” brains jump into action.

So I will renew my request to all the overweight MEN, 50+ to please get priority for a first shot of vaccinations, because it will plummet the numbers, you will survive and we can give our world freedom again.

Because if it has a 70% drop in Covid, then why not just apply the risky group first and then the other elderly and then if this should still be necessary start on the under 50 and the women.

Because although I see and hear in my immediate surroundings that women cope much better and are somehow easier surviving Covid, I do not see that back in any decision up to date.

So you install all those rules, but perhaps you should also think about the young people who are being completely destroyed but your scaring, or should I say scarring rules.

They cannot and are not allowed to find their own way,

they have to stay inside,

not meet eachother,

not discover one another,

not spreading wings, going other places,

no expanding their views,

nor fall in love because they are not allowed to meet up.

Not because they will die of the Covid, but only to make it safe for those 50+ old men who are afraid of being contaminated but also of being vaccinated.

And that folks is the reason why the world has come to a standstill, not because Bill Gates wants to take over the world, but because the guys in charge of the different departments within the government fit the highest risk group and are afraid of an injection!!

Although most might still call me overweight, I have already survived Covid and it was a laugh, because I was convinced that I had a light flue, not to be confused with menflu…

I am also left with some negative results, when I have too much to do, walking the dog, taking my bike, cleaning my house, I get this band of pain around my chest which seems to tighten me, but if I calm down and take 15, I feel all right again afterwards and can continue my life.

So can we please adapt and go on as quickly as possible because I still have a lot to do with my life and spring is coming!

I want to celebrate my son and daughters first wedding anniversary and a week later I want to celebrate Eric life on the day that he died, with all those who could not be there last year!

I want to see both my grandchildren baptised and I want it witnessed by friends and family because I am delighted that I have them.

I want to go out and show Amsterdam from the canals to my boyfriend and have a romantic picnic on board

I want to do the Noordermarkt with my besties, ordering coffee and appeltaart met slagroom (applecake with cream)while admiring all the other people passing by.

I want to see my (semi) brothers new house In Rotterdam and finally go out drinking with him as he asked already a year ago..

I want to ….. my list is endless, so please guys be brave, get your vaccinations, get it sorted so that we can start living again and I can take my mother in law out into the sun again, before she dies of loneliness!!

Have a great day !
