Will masks and lockdowns come back?

Sheep/npc looking for their next download/commands.

Where I live, because this past summer we have been getting more days with smoke and days with air quality alerts, seeing people wearing masks when outdoors (for smoke/air quality) reasons I can understand.

But when it has been proven that unless your are in a medically graded n95 masks, the average mask is only good for the first 15-20 minutes max.  And since the virus is smaller than the gaps in the weave of the masks…

And the usually “this is gonna be a bad season for colds/influenza/covid” like every other years (even when proven otherwise). get your masks and boosters ASAP!  non-sense.

Yet in the US, where there is a POTUS election around the corner, this timing is as always suspect.

“We can’t have you vote in person.  Mail it in!  You can’t ask for proof of ID as then we would have to remove our MASKS!  No! ! ! ”

If anything, it has been shown that lockdown versus staying open, rates were nearly identical, if not better where there was no lockdowns.

The DEMocrats are so desperate to control people, the need to control people, make people so dependent on the government for everything, they will gladly give up their constitutional rights to feel safe and secure, even if they are NOT.

After the first round of lockdowns/mandates, the government discovered what worked, what didn’t, and whom they can easily control with their fearmongering, and those that resisted their totalitarian demands.

You know the only reason they are doing this is due to elections coming up. They want to get away with the election fraud they did last year with mail in ballots.

It’s all a fucking scam to them.

I really hope the masked mode doesn’t make a comeback. The past times during the pandemic was incredibly tough for me. I’m a huge fan of live socializing and all sorts of events. In fact, I’m currently preparing for a Halloween party, and the thought of having to go back to strict lockdowns and mask mandates is quite disheartening. I’m even considering mobile bar hire to add that extra touch of fun and sophistication. Everything else has long since been ordered and paid for. Having experienced the joy of organizing gatherings and parties, I must say that the pandemic forced us to get creative with our celebrations. But nothing beats the excitement of seeing friends and family in person, without masks, and enjoying the festivities together.

@DragonLady that was the case for me as well. It also felt hot as hell wearing them too. So far it looks like we’re in the clear, but I don’t want to jinx anything.
