Was the COVID lockdown a dry-run or perhaps a conditioning exercise?
Yes.
“Was the COVID lockdown a dry-run or perhaps a conditioning exercise?”
It worked didn’t it. People are still driving around with masks on. I believe they’re all NPR listeners.
1. They didn't stop the spread of COVID.
2. They were an disaster from an economic standpoint.
3. People were so quick to adapt to the lockdowns that government and business leaders can't get them to "get back to normal" no matter how hard they try. People who have been working productively from home are refusing to go back to their offices. Consumer spending habits have changed permanently, destroying many businesses and some entire industries. Commercial real estate is a time bomb waiting to explode right now.
When I look around today, I see a lot of this sentiment among perfectly normal people: "I don't GAF what my government and/or my employer tells me to do anymore."
It was that, but it was mainly an excuse to get voting by mail so they could get rid of #badorangeman. It worked, but its use is probably pretty limited going forward.

Without question, it was. The elites established that the word “emergency” means they can set aside the all constitutions.
Baa baa baa. That’s sheep talk for yes.
