I agree on lockdowns but other draconian methods are still at play. As of today, WA State requires proof of vaccination to go any event with more than 1000 people. And King County requires it for all restaurants, bars, and gyms. But you can still congregate in droves at the mall of course. Pathetic.
NYC it's to go anywhere indoors, and some outdoor things too, all over the 5 boroughs, no test option. But go to NJ or NY suburbs, no problem.
All of SF and LA plus sleepy East Bay suburbs too, Newscum wants it for the whole state. SF has lost a total of 650 people (yes, six hundred and fifty) but has had the most harsh response in the country. In SF they are soon making it for ALL KIDS 5 AND UP, they can't go to indoor things. no matter if there are no cases in some of the towns. No end in sight, no metrics saying they can stop doing it, they don't care if businesses shut down.
Here is where it may hit them though, especially with all federal relief money to cities doled out already - if the burbs are not enforcing this crap, they will get all the sales tax $ as shoppers vote with their feet. Had that issue in my area. City and certain parts of the county requiring masks (half-assed lockdowns ended in April) and other areas, no masks. Guess what? Stores, restaurants and bars packed in no mask zones, much thinner crowds in mask areas. Sales tax revenue in the dumpster in mask zones, and now guess what, just in time for holiday shopping, all the mandates are poof! gone. Because science, right?
The only place checking vax cards here are a few concerts where the promoter and/or the band requires it. My son (who got the jab as he wanted to go on his honeymoon cruise with his jabbed bride and does not listen to him mom) went to a vax card- requiring concert and said he just waved it, and they waved him in, didn't even ask for his ID. As for the masks, still about a third of people in stores are still wearing them, but bars and restaurants, only the poor employees for the most part.
Oh I meant restaurants, bars, gyms, museums, and galleries, you can go to stores. In SF you can go to museums and galleries. In LA it's total, cannot even go to hair salons. Laughable if not so sad.
In LA you can get food and drugstore I think that's it. At least in the US they don't limit the amount of time you can go outside. Meanwhile Florida sails along with lowest case rate in the country!
They'll do it again. Psychopaths always give the victim a fake reprieve, then STOMP from an unexpected angle. Some small businesses are still annoyingly alive, so a new lockdown will be needed to finish the job of exterminating them.
The dictator of our state here in Australia is introducing new legislation called "Permanent pandemic laws" which will allow lock downs if a virus or other medical emergency exists - anywhere in the entire world.
I kid you not.
These guys love power and that's the one reason they should not be given it.

There are mask rules indoors, but many aren’t paying much attention to them. Main difference is there is no checking of vaccine cards and ID.
The only place checking vax cards here are a few concerts where the promoter and/or the band requires it.

It's become more and more clear that these people are being paid by the shot.

Yes. They will try to do again and any chance they get. At this point almost everyone has some type of exposure so it should just be over.
Ask the folks in Austria. Of course, that is just a lockdown for the unvaxxed, because it is all their fault.
The lockdowns won't happen around midterm elections.
They definitely will.
I must be missing something.There are over 3000 counties in the US.
