Ray Stevens: "Quarantined" write-up...

It's me once again!! I came across a website, Broadway World, promoting Ray's current video hit surpassing 1,000,000 unique views. The video's name has slightly been altered from "Quarantined" to "The Quarantine Song". Ray sings about the COVID-19 pandemic and makes reference to the phrase 'social distancing' which must have came into existence at the start of the pandemic because prior to March 2020 I'd never heard of that phrase before.

In a previous blog entry I reported that the video had gotten 1,000,945 unique views. As of this writing the video's risen even more to 1,011,248...an increase of 10,303!! The write-up can be found by clicking HERE. There's not been any kind of super spread or outbreak of COVID-19 in any deadly fashion...keep in mind that the media is playing up the number of cases and they've been doing so in such a way that it's paralyzed a lot of the economy. Scientists and researchers, along with the media and certain public officials, have irrationally caused panic and fear that COVID-19 is an automatic death sentence and if there's a spike in cases then everyone should retreat to their houses and stay in self isolation for 14 days or wear face masks in their own house or when outside in their yard. Those with common sense reject all of that...but since the pandemic is intertwined with the Government, as far as a response is concerned, it's become a political issue.

Those who prefer less Government in their lives balk at the growing expansion of Government during the pandemic and the arbitrary decisions being made in the name of a pandemic by a lot of Governors. Those who, for whatever reason, think the Government is the answer to everyone's problem, want the Government to do more and more and more and more. No, we want limited Government at every level: local, State, and Federal.
