None of those those questions have anything to do with masks. These are all consequences of lock downs which closed businesses adding to the other consequence of the riots, the burning of businesses and the anarchy that discouraged commerce. Those riots were also a super spreader, bringing back the pandemic with a revenge. The Dems loved this situation because it brought down the Trump economy. They knew if they could just rule for more painful lock downs, it would be the finishing blow to the economy. It was a win for them as well as a win for the Chicoms.
This situation demanded innovations that would no longer require lock downs.
I would have looked into high volume air purification systems using short-wave ultraviolet light (UV-C light) in all public places. That way, even a barber could cut hair while technology protected his patrons. I have a hand held UV wand that I can treat anything that comes into the house. I have seen huge units that purify people as they walk through an entrance. There are UV machines to treat groceries at the check-out. So why hasn’t anything been done with this technology?
The outdoor tents with interior propane heaters worked great for my son’s birthday dinner. That is an innovation that worked great on a mid winter’s night. There was no requirement for face masks.
I would have treated business like one would agriculture operators. A lock down is like telling a farmer not to grow his crop. Every business would get a subsidy that would pay for the loss of wages for business owner and every employee affected. I would include the cost of rent and utilities for the business. The banks would provide loans for the technological changes that would mitigate the contagion.
The Chinese Communist Party greatly appreciated your assistance in their biological attack on the USA, and to express their appreciation they promise to kill you last.
