There was a summer when we didn't know what the hell the virus was going to do. Where hospitals were overflowing so much that if a young person got in a car accident they'd sit in an ambulance. Or if they got the sniffles and hugged their mom they'd kill her.

I'm starting to distrust any person who claims to distrust the media over covid.

We know more than we ever have about the virus but we’re still pushing bullshit mandates. It’s over, time to move on.

Some people are pushing mandates, many aren't. And there was a time when mandates made sense. There may likely be a time in the future when a mandate would make sense again.

> there was a summer…

Yes. A summer. Not two years.

I would say that we had a spring even. Because by the summer with the whole world taking to the streets over George Floyd, it seemed pretty much like we weren’t going to have a major problem.
