We have long suspected that the left would use the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to take greater control over people’s lives, whether or not it helped fight the disease. The evidence appears to support this.
Wallethub has been ranking states based on their COVID-19 restrictions – things such as mask mandates, limits on travel and gatherings, school closings, liability protections, work-at-home requirements.
The nearby table lists the 10 states with the most and least restrictions in place as of Jan. 25.

The numbers are inflated beyond belief. This virus is no different than a very bad flu. It's killing this country. You can thank that little man Fauci for this hype and for funding the creation of this virus. Do you ever wonder how a government employee got his millions? Someone should look at big Pharma.

FTA: “ This fits with findings we keep seeing, which say that lockdowns, mask mandates, school shutdowns, and other intrusive government regulations are massively expensive and disruptive but appear to have a negligible impact on the disease.”
The “Karen” mindset has taken hold of so many Americans. It is the desire of individuals who want to do something to make a difference even if it is detrimental and/or ineffective. The sanctimonious rush that comes from sitting on that particular high horse cannot be underestimated. While I was recently in the hospital with COVID, I asked a respiratory therapist if she thought masks were really effective. She was shocked that I would even question that. When I pointed out the virus was so small that it could easily escape through a mask, she was physically taken aback that I would dare question it. All she had to offer was that she believed that masks were effective. No facts, no evidence, no studies, just a belief that she was unwilling to question. This virus has changed the country. It has chiseled away at personal freedom and fortified government control of our lives. The Chinese created a very effective bio-weapon. It is a terrible sickness for some, and even after suffering the awful consequences of it personally, I am not convinced that lockdowns were effective. I just thank God that President Trump was our leader. I cannot imagine the devastation if a democrat was in charge.

Bravo, #2! I am horrified that this country approaches ONE YEAR of this insanity, with our politicians drunk on their own power. Their knuckles are white from the iron grip they refuse to release or even loosen slightly. Instead they vomit up their ever-changing commands and cultish rationalizations, cruelly and uselessly twisting the hold they have on everything we do and will do. No end in sight!
I'm sorry you contracted the virus, and am happy to hear that you made it through. Good for you, giving "Karen", the respiratory therapist, a little something to rattle her brain. She's probably one of these people I see when I'm out with my dogs. They're walking alone, in blistery sub-freezing temps, with one of those blue disposable masks on. I'm astounded when they cross the street as we approach, probably cursing me out because I, maskless, am endangering their very life. I almost pity them for being so brainwashed, but it makes me too furious when they, being so superior, will not even lift their eyes to acknowledge a neighbor.

Killing jobs, closing churches, stopping social contact, and small business is a feature not a bug of the lockdowns.

Jobs? We don’t need no stinkin’ jobs! Great White Father in Washington will soon be writing everyone a monthly check. In the not too distant future, Equity will mean that everyone is as equally broke as the next guy.

March 2020: Fauci: "Right now, in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks, there's no reason to be walking around with a mask."
"When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is."
But then the Big Scare was foisted on us. We have been lied to, as usual.

I have an advantage... I'm retired... I live alone... I love to cook and bake and clean...so this china virus... which I think was intentional by china...thanks to fauci's federal funding...escaped my ire... china could afford losing millions of their people to the virus because they are plentiful... poor people...their dictator for life has a plan to dominate the world... there was only one fly in the ointment...Americans are very tenacious and inventive... why else would china keep stealing our intellectual properties?...they can't invent their own???

Went for a doctor's appointment in Manhattan. Thee is not a place you can sit down to eat or drink coffee once you exit the doctor's office. They are ruining the city.

Doctor's offices will be over flowing with new patients who have lost physical gains due to lock downs.

FTA; So, liberal states are more restriction-happy than conservative states. Their residents are more likely to be unemployed, while the impact on the death rate from coronavirus is unclear.
It’s by design create a crises then come up with a government plan to rebuild. It will be a reparations plan. The narrative is clear from the Biden-Harris regime monies will go to communities of color first.

It's meant to destroy your soul. To mentally batter you. To wear you down. To control you. The dem govs and mayors are doing what they're told to do . The payback is money ( a lot ) from joey & co.

When conservative states are doing better than Marxist run states, the course is clear to Democrats: Make all the states into Marxist states. Then there will be no difference. Problem solved.

This was just one big farce. Fauci and the scarf dr belong in jail. They have caused so much carnage in this country. They have changed children's lives and not for the better. They have caused them severe anxieties, have caused acne in teenagers (maybe small to them but to a teenager, it's awful, have caused lung infections from wearing the mask. The list can go on and on. I had covid in March- I'm still here. It's a bad flu. Speaking of flu, there are children dying of the flu but we don't hear about it.
