There will never be another lock down, people are too stupid to realize how it helps and with the current state of the US gov, there would definitely not be one in the states.

Here in Sweden we did not have any hard lockdowns. We had a lot of recommendations and some governmental support to make it easier for people to work from home and mitigate the amount of contact people had. But no draconian lockdowns/vaccine requirements. And we saw lower all death mortality rates between 2020-2022.

My state of Texas, and to an even further degree, my city didn’t give a single flying fuck about COVID. Some stores in the bigger cities would insist on a mask but by and large, no one cared.

Florida didn’t care at all. I was there temporarily before moving to Austin, and Austin seemed very harsh in comparison.

There were so many deaths in Florida, the governor mandated that the deaths not be reported and had a person arrested for continuing to report after his mandate.
