I remember 9/11 well. People were shocked and angry, but also brave and compassionate. Police and firefighters ran into the burning World Trade Towers to save office workers. Many of those police and firefighters were still there trying to save lives when the buildings collapsed over and under them.
On a hijacked flight over Pennsylvania, passengers heard by telephone of the collapse of the Trade Towers and surmised that their hijackers planned a similar strike. Some of the passengers huddled, plotted and made a pact to overcome the terrorists.
The terrorists had already murdered the pilots, and so the passengers knew their actions would crash the plane and end their own lives.

When I go out and see people with masks on their face outdoors I think... some people not only got got mean, but also got stupid. However, a lot of people got smart... like mothers. I think 2021 was the year of the mother.

They got addicted to self-righteous virtue signaling.

He's right! if the Nazis had thought of masking, they would have loved its sinister ill effects!

We live and move around in a small circle of friends not very social even if this Covid scare had not happened. We don't witness what the author is writing about, but we do read about this happening in other places mostly far from us. Covid will always be known as a political pandemic and nothing else. MAGA

Not People -- Leftists. And they didn't get mean. They got meaner . . . as they substituted hate for reason as an animating and organizing principle.

the media and politicians have the weak minded scared to death. Last I checked the most in danger are elderly and people with FOUR or more co-morbidities (80% of deaths) who have perhaps a 5% chance of dying with covid and perhaps a 15% (if testing is accurate but I doubt it) of even catching it. And that is the old strains which are disappearing. Omicron doesn't appear to be deadly.

COVID has repeatedly reminded me of the movie 'Cabin Fever'. The uninfected turn on the infected, and the infected defend themselves. Things get very nasty. "Cabin Fever" was a horror movie that very much reflected what would happen in reality, and we are seeing it with regard to COVID.

What I will remember is that businesses joined with the government to use coercion. I will never forget or forgive it. All of them should be sent to prison for it.

I work in Sili Con Valley so I can say this is what I have seen too. All the left wing run non profits I work for , (which are by law suppose to be non political!).
The people running them have heavily drank the kool aid. They speak scathingly of anyone not jabbed, and think they are idiots, they are harsh, rude and following every idea of WOKE that blows in. Many people I used to respect and thought highly of, I now loathe. I am slowing leaving most of my commitments with these organizations fully due to Trump derangement, which started it all, and now finished up with Covid insanity.

#3 The Nazis did. They just had their mask placed on the arm. Take a cloth mask, draw a Star of David on it and put it on your arm. Bingo
I often wondered when I was young, how the Germans, with limited manpower, could compel and monitor each person to see if they were Jewish and wearing their Star. I realized they didnt need soldiers. They only needed the Jews" neighbors who loved the power over other people. Nothing is new under the Sun

I will remember how politicians used covid against citizens. With the help of some drs lawyers and judges by with holding treatments that would cure sick people. As the young mother of three lay dying and could have been saved, except the liberal judge refused her meds. (Murder). All done to keep info of a rigged election from voters, and to enrich pharmaceutical company’s.
Worked so well it’s being used again. A new variant is on the rise. A combination of the covid and the flu. More boosters!

#1 is right on. A few people are still wearing masks everywhere. I have to chuckle at the idiots who wear a mask inside a car, alone. Or walking on a sidewalk in a suburban area, no person within a hundred yards.
Do they not have ANY brains? Do they imagine these viruses are floating along EVERYWHERE? Do they, also, imagine that their random damned piece of cloth has some magical powers to stop particles which are far, far smaller than the holes in the cloth that the air comes through?
And, to the "got mean".....I think that these folks were already that mean, but until this event they managed to cover it up a bit. These crazy times showed people for what they actually have always been. For some it is wonderful. For many it shows that they are uncivil, dimwitted, frightened beasts.

I think we knew what a 'Karen' was before Covid.
But it seems that they got energized by Covid and, yes, mean.
