It's not a conspiracy when schools actually close. It's not a conspiracy when graduations and funerals were closed. It's not a conspiracy when people could not see their dying loved ones. It's not a conspiracy when COVID is a cold now and they still want to restrict and lock down.its not a conspiracy when people predicted restrictions would come back.massechusetts does not deserve freedom.its not a conspiracy that people got fired for not taking an experimental jab. The people in charge know what they are doing people do not care and don't get it.

It was reversed, right? What is a point to think that it is being reinstated? There were too many unknown back then everywhere and overkill with some measures.

I am OK with forum keeping track. Just like keeping track of what you said.
Both statements are here.

^Exactly. We didn't know much about this virus (remember wiping down and disinfecting groceries?! ) at the time, so officials and business owners just erred on the side of caution. I mean, here in MA, our Governor (a Republican) was the last in the nation to let bars reopen!

There are paranoid people ascribing sinister motives to these actions, when as you say it was all reversed, especially after vaccines came out and became widely available.

Ok I'll go along with we did not know how dangerous COVID was. There are even some I have argued with that admit COVID is a cold because of mutation. Why have restrictions for a cold unless you are paranoid?

We as kids LOVED it We were not made to stay home and of course nobody could control it so we were mostly outside, but being outside in groups was still better than in classrooms.
I wouldn't call an 18-24 month closure of schools "pretty soon."

Hey, if you think Florida should've been in Biden's column...well maybe there'll be a Dem landslide in 2024!
