My experience during the pandemic reminded me of a scene where the female protagonist approaches Donald Sutherland at the end of “Invasion of the body snatchers.” He points at her and makes the alien hiss noise. That’s how I felt. I was in constant dread of someone panicking because I wasn’t wearing a mask, or I walked the wrong way down a food aisle. People were sitting alone in an airconditioned car or jogging down deserted country roads wearing a mask. A woman getting into the elevator asked if I had been vaccinated and then backed out in a panic when I said no. The stress of being surrounded by crazy people was wearing. It felt like I was in some weird science fiction horror movie.

Incidentally, I still see people wearing masks, but they almost always have them below their nose. These people are wearing talismans, like carrying a rabbit’s foot. I’ve always wanted to follow them to their cars to see if they had COEXIST or other crazy bumper stickers.

It was indeed very strange to see so many otherwise normal looking people instantly become Uber-Bossy Busybodies who took all those health guides literally.
Even Dr. Fauci now admits he just made that 6 foot separation rule up, with no science behind it at all.
The Covid experience taught me how easily my American society could some day flip into a Majority Sharia society

Saw those people all over Ann Arbor, wearing masks alone in their cars, lol.

Got banned from Whole Foods there for my “PLACEBO” mask.

Upset the lemmings, I suppose the button that read “Masks are as worthless as Joe Biden” set them off too.
