Covid-19 is as crazy does...
Wed. April 8th Prompt.
by Fivesixer (653)

What is the most ridiculous thing about what's happening this month?
         
         
         This presumes that only one thing is the MOST ridiculous re COVID-19 and the measures taken to deal with it. There are many, too many to mention. This pandemic has raised the level of crazy and bizarre to a new level.
         I suppose if I had to choose one super ridiculous thing it would have to be the theory that this is nothing but a hoax. Despite daily reports to the contrary, some fools insist this virus and/or its severity is grossly over-exaggerated. They fail to recognize the virus' spread and its repercussions. They believe we're over-reacting. They either refuse or balk at self-isolation and self-distancing measures. They bray about their freedoms to say, do and go anywhere they wish.
         On a more humorous note, I cannot fathom the ridiculous anti-virus outfits people have created to 'protect' themselves. Really? Are certain individuals really venturing out in public swathed in plastic garbage bags and shopping bags? Why are some choosing to wrap their entire heads in plastic? Are these the idiots that do not read the warnings printed just for them? "Caution this product, ( a plastic shopping bag), may cause suffocation if placed over the face." I saw a picture of a woman shopping with a zippered plastic bag over her head and it flapped open near her mouth. This is the type of bag that quilts and sheet sets are packaged in. Why?
         And, oh, the handmade face masks are noteworthy for their uniqueness! If it is an actual photo, the woman brings ingenuity to an assinine level. She waits in a line with a cheap, cardboard birthday hat positioned over her nose and mouth. You know, the cone-shaped pointy hats. Any self-respecting virus would steer clear of that for sure.
