I can count on one hand the times I wore a mask - even during the pandemic hoax. Fortunately for me, I am retired and I was able to order most things delivered.
Another advantage I had during the hoax was that I became so disgusted with my fellow man - both for their pathetic willingness to comply and for the raging epidemic of Trump hate - so I lost all interest in traveling, going out to restaurants and shows.
When restaurants and entertainment venues began to open up conditionally with weird hours, mask and distancing requirements and plexiglass shields - my reaction was that these venues could go f themselves - I wasn’t going to play their games.
What I found most disappointing was the way it ended over night when Biden stole the election and the Democrats no longer needed to keep Republicans at home.
It should have been obvious to everyone then that it was nothing but a scam - but no apologies, no admission that I was right all along - even many Republicans won’t admit it was BS - because that would be the same as admitting they were a bunch of weak and afraid pussies.
The only time I wore a mask was when I took my elderly mother to her doctor. Maybe 3-4 times?
Blue state metro areas didn't have a lot of leeway. It was comply or possibly get shutdown. The judges in my county were more than willing to side with lockdowns and mandates. Disgraceful..
