"Because it DOESN’T work, any of it. It is pure b.s. fear-mongering crap. Inflated, bogus “death tolls”, hyping up the deaths as though 83-year old people don’t die of assorted viruses every damned day. The difference is that now, our “leaders” are trying to convince everyone that they are directly responsible for keeping everyone else alive by submitting to all of this ridiculous crap."

And yet I received a communication from the company my wife works for which has an Italian subsidiary saying that said subsidiary got through the whole Italian Covid surbe with NO infections, simply using internal distancing, masks, and stringent handwashing and disinfection. You are wrong.

If I don't have COVID, and I don't, because I've been locked down, socialist distancing, etc., for over 2 MONTHS, then I don't need to be forced to wear a mask. I have nothing to "spread", and since the mask does nothing to protect me from catching COVID from someone else, there is no reason for me to wear one.

Masks don't work, socialist distancing doesn't work, destroying the economy in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID doesn't work. If it did, we would have been done with this a long time ago. But instead, we're promised socialist distancing and gimp masks in perpetuity, since a "second wave" will hit if we dare to stop doing any of this nonsense.

Wear your mask, stay home, do whatever makes you feel like you're "making a difference", and like "we're in this (alone) together."

The problem is that this is all being used as the basis to control people and dictate to them what they can do, where they can go, who they can see, how close they can get (to friends, family, etc.). It is totalitarian b.s. My rights don't end where your fear begins.
