Now, of course, forever masking because you want privacy is one thing. With that said...
This is just horrific. The government has terrified untold numbers of people with lockdowns, economic ruin, and what many would call psychological warfare. I know so many 20-something that, despite being vaccinated, are scared to go out in public still. These are kids who have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than dying from COVID.
It's refreshing that I now get to sit down at starbucks without a mask and live life like normal right before walking into home depot to sea of unmasked faces. But reading articles like this makes me hate the state even more because of all the psychological damage it has caused.
