I experienced the same: a "drive-by" birthday celebration for my step-daughter in April of 2020. Not because I wouldn't let anyone in my house, but because all of them were such frightened fools. It was quite sad, especially as it was her 18th birthday. She also had a ridiculous high school graduation which we had to watch via Internet stream, and her first year in college saw her "quarantined" in a hotel room for a week, even though she didn't have "COVID". Her roommate supposedly did, but somehow, despite being in a 14' square room with her "COVID" "infected" roommate for close to a week, she never tested positive. Even so, they locked her up in a hotel room for a week.
I will never forget, nor will I ever forgive, anyone who supported and defended the insanity, the tyranny, and the hypocrisy, of the "COVID" panic. Amazingly, there are still many people who continue, to this day, to argue that it all made sense, that it was and even still is, necessary. They still support mandatory, forced vaccination, and if the government were to call for forced isolation of un-"vaccinated" people in camps, or locking them down in their homes, these idiots and proxy-tyrants would be right there supporting it.
“””Amazingly, there are still many people who continue, to this day, to argue that it all made sense, that it was and even still is, necessary.”””
What I have been wondering is what are the vaxxed people thinking these days?
That might explain why still many people continue to argue that the covid lockdowns and other mandates made sense.
Now mind you, they are not checking for vaccination cards at the pool in my place and they are not likely to challenge me as I never revealed my non-vaccinated status to anybody here, but on principle, I am not setting a foot in there until they lift that ridiculous restriction.
I recently had my condo painted and when the painter guys came, they all had masks. I told them immediately that they could lose the masks and they were so happy and relieved to hear that. They told me that other jobs they had here, they had their masks on the entire time because none of the other residents would invite them to take them off and their boss gave them strict orders not to even ask permission. I think that's just cruel. Also, the painters took the time to touch up areas that weren't even on the work order. I think they were showing appreciation for the courtesy we showed them.
