My town reinstated the masks a/o December 28th after the Karen’s joined a BOH zoom meeting. We were told as soon as the town’s positivity rate is below 20% (which it now is) or the county’s transmission rate is no longer catergorized as ”high.” My husband called yesterday to get rid of the mandate. I assume the BOH just waits to see if anyone notices the town’s PR on the state website; it is no longer posted on the town website. So that’s how it works locally.
On a side note, the folks on Nextdoor are really excited about the fancy new vaccine passport app for their phones. Apparently, it shows your vaccines as far back as 2009! Wait, whut? I thought it was just for the Covid jab. Only three people in the thread questioned the wisdom of putting that on your phone. The problem with many folks is they don’t look much further than one step past where they currently are.
We need to start demanding that STDs, HIV, hepatitis status are on these apps also. And actually any issues with depression or mental health problems… We need to keep society safe for heaven sakes! Oh and alcohol use or recreational drug use.
I very strongly suspect that ND was/is being used to keep the pot stirred (meaning people on there are not necessarily people in your neighborhood, they are there to push the agenda). My observations at the beginning of 2020 made me suspicious. I deleted it after they put me in time out for posting actual science documents from the actual U.S. government regarding C-19. Strangely, I felt better after deleting my account - like I had closed the door on the vampire or something.
There was a blogger about ten years ago who gave up blogging which was a shame because he was quite brilliant. Anyway, one of his sayings that I repeat regularly was, "it's an endless universe of stupid."
One thing we know that history teaches us for certain is that we never learn anything from history except how utterly imbecilic the human race can be. Sad. Truly sad. Through it all I’ve found everyone in the substack community and remain optimistic.

And a daily weight number...that should shut them up.
Nextdoor is full of Karens.

I suspect that a large fraction of the Covid apologists on social media are bots and paid trolls.
Indeed.
What town / state do you live in ?
I’m in MA, so this is not surprising.
People are dumber than we suspected.

You suspected wrong, they are actually way dumber than imaginable. By a mile. Maybe two.
