The people in New Zealand are were locked down, wearing masks, etc...
They have COVID under control, and now they are not locked down nor wearing masks.

Is this some corner case example where a non-authoritarian regime took freedoms away, then gave them back because they are not authoritarian?

But the California government is authoritarian, so we will be wearing masks and never go to a bar again?

I wonder, when the US had rationing coupons for butter and gasoline during WW2, was that a freedom being taken away by an authoritarian regime? What happened there, Ike got elected and overthrew the authoritarianism of Trumanism?

I am an American…I have rights!  Those masks mandates violate my First Amendment right to speech and association, and mandatory masks violate my constitutional right to liberty and to make decisions about my own health. 

My body, my choice!   

Well, maybe not…

“On July 27, the [Palm Beach County, FL] Court declined to issue an injunction against the mask mandate. Citing Jacobsen v. Massachusetts, the Court found that ‘no constitutional right is infringed by the Mask Ordinance’s mandate … and that the requirement to swear such a covering has a clear rational basis based on the protection of public health.’  More to the point, the Court continued, ‘constitutional rights and the ideals of limited government do not … allow (citizens) to wholly shirk their social obligation to their fellow Americans or to society as a whole…. After all, we do not have a constitutional right to infect others.’”

These same people who say you can't force me to wear a mask are forcing you to wear pants.

When we (the illuminati) have collected all the data, this test run will have proved invaluable in the effort to cleanse the planet of our retarded half.

You will. When the case rate drops. Which happens if enough people get the vaccine.

Lowest case rate in the country - Bear Republic.

I had to go to Colorado to see my Dad, it was quite a culture shock. Bars pretty much fully open, people would wear masks as they entered, and when going to order or to the bathroom, but this bar had 70-ish people in it, mixed households at single tables, etc...

And... Colorado is now spiking. And not just cases, Hospitalizations.

The wife and I went down to Denver for a "5280 Restaurant Week" dinner last night.  It was nice weather and we got an outside table.  We were both surprised at the crowding especially all the younger folks.  We'd been going out closer to home since vaccinations but hadn't seen anything as busy as last night, a frigging Monday!  Our cases are rising here and kids are starting to move the numbers.

From a buddy who works in the ER at Stanford

"Yesterday was the first day at Stanford in which we didn’t have a COVID positive patient in the ED. Keep up the good work!"

yeah man, authoritarian regimes have always been known to let the people they rule over have their freedoms back

fucking idiot
“Authoritarian regime”? JFC dude. We live in a democracy. If a “regime” tries pulling shit, they lose at the ballot box. What are you even talking about?

Yes. Exactly.

Naturally, one of the most important aspects of The Plan is determining the most efficient method to off the dumb-dumbs.

Turns out we can cajole them into deadly behavior with small doses of peer pressure. Now we're fine tuning the mechanism.
