Yeah it's weird that a place that has 1000s of people in it at once has different rules than a place with 50.

We may never know why that is. Truly, a mystery. An enigma for the ages. Scholars will be working on this for 1000s of years. Who could know the answer to such a question?

Puzzling indeed.




believe it or not there is more to life than a myopic obsessive fixation on Covid to the literal sacrifice of everything else. It is complete BS that restaurants were open but schools closed. There is more to the world than just Covid you know…

All the lockdown people thought mattered was Covid. They completely ignored every other problem and mocked people who pointed it out.

Completely different environments with different requirements.

> to the literal sacrifice of everything else.

Except for, you know...public health and disease control. Not minimizing covid would maximize long covid which would be a whole other public health nightmare we'd have to deal with for decades to come.

Also, you know, it just kind of made sense to mount some kind of response to a pandemic. I realize you see it as an all-or-nothing proposition, so at least be glad it was only a mixed response and I'll remain content that the experts, in some jurisdictions at least are out there being put in charge of things like this.

Except in the US at least where we've seen some of the most organized nationwide protests organized and attended by a mostly mask wearing populace. Another bit of fabricated wisdom from your keyboard to the bin.
