Apply the discourse in this post to the job of a mail man: such a job requires touching thousands of pieces of paper, which were each touched-- and even licked, in many cases-- by random other people, not hours or even minutes before; then it involves opening hundreds of gates, mailboxes, and even manhandling door knobs; it also necessitates operating a mail delivery vehicle, which was sneezed in by other mail carriers, plus countless other employees such as maintenance workers.

If you're a mail man, you're going to get and probably have already had the corrronnna, along with dozens of other illnesses each year and this year, which your immune system fights off without you even realizing it.

But, nope: today I happened to be in my yard, and the mail man refused to hand me my mail over the fence! In a pompous tone: "I won't hand mail directly to people." In bypassing such a contact-less maneuver, he'd decided to touch my gate and mailbox instead. Ok... and no, he wasn't wearing gloves.

This led to a conversation with my daughter, where I explained to her what this is really about; sneak preview-- it has nothing to do with saaafety: rather and first, it permits people to show others-- virtue signal-- how much they supposedly care about others. This while destroying the livelihoods of tens of millions of their fellow Americans, of course: square that one. Second, it makes them feel morally superior: they get to look down their noses at people who have different opinions than them (herd immunity, baby).

If you don't believe me, consider this punchline: the mail man didn't have anything to deliver for my house today anyway-- he never tried to enter my yard, and he never circled back. Rather than just say "nothing for you today, have a nice weekend!", he went out of his way to communicate to me how much he "cared" by not handing me non-existent mail.

And if you still don't believe me, once very recently when out on one of my countless daily walks, I saw a woman open the door to him-- he very obviously made a look around to see if anyone was watching, then entered. I didn't realize the virus wasn't communicable via hankey-pankey!

And if you still don't believe me, there was another occasion just a couple of months ago, where he followed a neighbor into their back yard, and was chatting with them standing not two feet away, so he could get a free set of golf clubs! Free shit? Bring on the corrronna!

And for those Virus Totalitarians who really do "feel scared" and thus like to tell people who don't "feel unsafe" to bow down and that such individuals are being "selfish"-- in a typical lack of self-awareness, they don't see that they are the selfish ones: if you don't feel safe, then stay home-- don't expect everyone else to join bread lines or dress like Michael Jackson because you have mysophobia.
