It's like once "their guy" gave them the ok, everyone started licking doorknobs again. Why couldn't we keep this "social distancing" thing going? I liked my personal space.

    In a way he saved us from fascism. In the very first months of the pandemic there were several instances of police overstepping and enforcing isolation rules like it was martial law. I know it wasn't a good response, but we could have been under martial law for years instead.

    Who do you think I'm talking about? Trump was all around terrible. He wanted the virus to spread while he and his party thought it was killing black people more then white people.

    My original comment was about my Biden friends who all flocked back to theaters then he signaled the "end" to the pandemic.

    It was amazing watching the Republicans/Trump's response change when they realised that they were mostly encouraging their own voters to catch Covid.

    And by then, it was too late to their voters behavior. Hell, Trump didn't really change his public stance either. Him and his voters made anti-masking a point of pride. Whenever the press asked him about vaccines, he never out rite said that they should get vaccines for the health and safety of the county they supposed love. It's so simple. Love the county? Love the economy? Get vaccinated and stay up to date. Trust the American(tm) researchers.
