    The first lockdown was so brutal...going from constant working out to just chillin' in the crib caused me to gain hella weight. I think the government did a disservice telling people to forgo their masks once the vax started rolling out. Now I'm hearing we are going to be locked down again...I'm afraid that we'll fall into a depression if we keep putting the economy in a stasis.

    The consequences of shutting down once more will be disastrous. Why can’t people just wear a dang mask and call it a day?

    If it’ll make it all go away why not? No reason to keep prolonging it and having COVID be here forever.

    I bet we'll end up getting more stimulus checks eventually. But I don't see a lockdown happening. Just mask mandates and probably rules that have already been established.

    Exactly. I have no idea why people can't wear the mask. Yeah it aint going to protect you 100%, but the point is to protect others for the most part.

    I think a lot of people do it because they don't like being told what to do, even though this is to protect everyone, they don't seem to understand that either.

    It’s because they are selfish. I see how it can be uncomfortable but there are so many different options from breathable fabrics to comfortable straps that there is no excuse

    Oh for sure, it's like they have to have a reason to complain about something, or they just like to complain. Wearing a mask isn't even that bad, and honestly, I kind of like wearing a mask anyway.

    Absolutely agree!! Wear a mask, get vaccinated, let's get this thing out of here! The masks really aren't that big of a deal. I would much rather wear a mask than go thru another shut down.

    I sure hope not, but you got states like Florida that are just failing to handle things on an epic level.

    Yeah man…American exceptionalism paired with the stupidity of the average human makes for some really backwards ass decisions being made. We’ve had whole cities out here in Cali’ where no one wore masks…in the height of the first spike. Nature has a way of dealing with them though so I‘ma let it do what it do.

    People were saying that the government would shut down things this summer. Today is the official start to summer, and I doubt that will happen since COVID numbers are much lower than they were in 2020 and 2021. Midterms are coming up, and they do not want to make more people mad who are already getting close to being fed up.
