Honestly can't believe we're still litigating this BS 3 yrs after the onset of a pandemic that's killed 4 million people worldwide. We should all be thankful Covid wasn't something a lot more gruesome and fatal like Ebola. Half the conspiratorial nutsos would be dead in the time spent arguing about whether Ebola was real or not.
I'm very frightened of ebola. When I heard about cases in the United States I got paranoid about ebola. There was a danish study I think how masks don't work. Medical professionals used masks in surgery not because of viruses but to prevent saliva and particles getting into the body

tenant, if masks don't do anything, explain why the flu was virtually nonexistent when masks were required.

Very easy do you think the flu went away? The flu was labeled as COVID cases . They wanted to increase COVID numbers so they labeled flu cases as COVID. Wouldn't you know they have the same symptoms

I've been one of those who still masks religiously on airplanes (KN95) and in supermarkets / malls (surgical). I even got a "thumbs up" from someone at Market Basket the other day, as she was putting on her own mask!

Nope. There are specific tests to discriminate between flu and covid.

When tested for covid, the flu does not produce a positive result for covid.

One thing this COVID nonsense taught me is not to take my freedom for granted. Freedom is more important than safety.
I haven't lived in Mass since 2012. I crossed the northern border for good during summer of that year. Other than the first 3 to 6 month of the pandemic in 2020, mandates in New Hampshire were never as strict as they were in Mass.

I live in Massachusetts. We travel to New Hampshire during summers for weekends.
There absolutely were measures in 2020. Strictness varied, just like in Massachusetts.

In May 2020 we were not allowed to park and attend Hampton beach. In White Mountains there were restrictions on visiting various outdoor places too. Masks were required for some trails. You had to book times to attend some outdoor places like Lost River for example. There were many more, I just do not remember all.

Maine downright was not allowing Massachusetts residents for some time.

I remember this. My father was living in ME at the time and it was chaos. He still had MA plates on his car and had people yelling at him in public and even throwing stuff at his car. It got to the point where he would just drive into town with a neighbor to avoid it all. Another of his neighbors who is from MA and wasn't living there, but had gone up to "escape" had a few people cut down a tree across her driveway so she couldn't leave.
