What do you suppose the end game is? Obviously increased (and mostly willing acceptance of) police state powers beyond before within western countries is a neat side effect, along with, over here, the rapid dismantling of the nhs under the guise of redirection to covid (I think Dan might agree with that) but surely at some point all economies will crumble to nothing? I know some companies have made massively more at the expense of small businesses over lockdown but that only lasts till the money runs out. Is it so dystopian as to just effect a brutish 1984 scenario (where everyone is isolated from everyone else and thinks that's fine), or can you imagine a bigger picture? I have no idea, but it does concern me that people are still persisting in the belief that this will pass. I'm not sure anyone in power wants it to. But I don't understand why that is. I also don't yet understand why so many previous advocates for human rights and civil liberties seem to be so behind all these new measures as to (at least here it appears) completely dismiss the increasingly violent actions against those not following the rules as an irrelevance . Or for that matter the fact so many are now with essential health services because of covid, and the most I'm seeing is it mentioned as an aside. It isn't, for those with deteriorating health (and mental health too). Perhaps it's Been a good opportunity for uniting the left and right to common middle ground that works for the powerful? Maybe this is an aspect to the mentality that has created the violent mindset within Israel against Palestine? Fear of threat leading to violent over reaction.. My safety pitted against that of all others. You don't have to have conspiratorial thoughts about covid itself to wonder where it's all leading, and be worried about that. I'd certainly like to see more discussion along those lines, but so far it's been scant. Like you, I still don't get the mask thing. Covid rose then dropped well before their introduction, so the question seems to be why now, and not 6 months ago? Dan suggested because there was a shortage of masks for health professionals then, but the new directive inc any kind of face covering (from shields to snoods). Assuming they do what they say on the tin (which is different than a year ago from what I can understand), or they don't, but the measures introduced are so half arsed as to be largely irrelevant anyway... Must wear in a shop, no need in a pub or restaurant. Go to pubs and restaurants and we will make it cheaper for you.. No music in pubs, too much risk, but you can drink there of course... Wear any face covering, we don't care what except that you're mouth is covered. No need for goggles. Seems a bit like insisting that everyone wears bullet proof jackets(which help unless you get shot in the face), but then declaring that any kind of vest qualifies as bullet proof. But whatever; for me that's an aside to questions about what lies i. The near future and how much is being sacrificed (including other people's health!) along the way. Compliance with govt (despite reflecting reminding each other that we hate and distrust them still) seems at an all time high.
