Not even Californians are listening to this crap anymore.
But they will comply. Most people would rather acquiesce to authority, than draw attention by resisting. When Newsom reinstated the mask mandate last December most people ignored him initially, but within about two weeks I was the only person in whatever store I went to, not wearing a mask. People are tired of this, but they will wear the mask.
When will folks figure out that all of these issues have a shred of truth to them. However, politics and business interests distort them for their own benefit and what you end up with is often laughable.
Masks that do not work.
Quarantines and social distancing that have not reduced the total number infected in the end (it just slows it down - However, that can be an argument for quarantines in its own right as this prevents the health care system from being over taxed).
Closing beaches and Jacuzzi's... what exactly was the logic behind that? Are they worried that salt water, high temperatures, UV light, sand or so much chlorine that it beeches the clothes and hair might help spread covid? Where do you think you're more at risk of contacting Covid: (1) in Biden's White House, a in a meeting with Newsome, in most peoples home or (2) at a beach?
MOST of what was done didn't even make any frigging sense. They just said it did, and because they said so, it must be true.
***It was literally a mass exercise of government directed stupidity where every little bureaucrat and politician wanted to make a name for themselves using this issue. Then of course you had those making billions off this issue (hospitals, pharma...). And finally you had the MSM that had their story which captivated the audience 24/7.***
You had fools like Cuomo actually doing the OPPOSITE, of what made any sort of rational sense and likely is responsible for the death of hundreds if not thousands of elderly people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_COVID-19_nursing_home_scandal
And then there are the true believers, the folks that if someone in a white lab coat and with a big title tells them to electrocute their neighbors kid, they would. The true believers simply “believe” and while they use phrases like “following the science,” that is hardly the case.
The die hard true believers still think everyone should drink the cool aid, even though you see folks dropping dead from it. The true believers see the greater good, the higher purpose, and if need be they will force it own your throat. It's always been that way, may it by some idiot in a brown shirt, some idiot in Jonestown, some idiot burning people at a stake, some idiot persecuting folks on trumped up charges of being communists...
We are now at a point where only the true believers are still clinging to their alternate version of reality anmd of course you need to do what they say, or else!
