I have no idea how the hell this even happened.
Within the span of 5 months the government went from "don't be racist, please frequent Chinese businesses as much as possible" to "no we're not shutting the borders, don't be racist," to "we're shutting the border to the States due to a potential pandemic and please accept a 2 weeks lockdown to ensure the hospitals don't get overwhelmed" to "we need to re-open at a glacial pace and don't you fucking dare go to the beach, protesting is still fine."
I have no idea how any of this even happened. Maybe the government fell in love with dictatorial powers and don't want to relinquish them, maybe they're unsure of what to do and thus are being extra-careful.
Maybe this is the end of an international pedophile cult and that Justin Trudeau is being monitored for ordering kids through Wayfair in the form of a $15,000 swingset that he billed to the taxpayer.
I don't even know anymore. All I know is that this lockdown has gone on far too long. 15 days to slow the spread. Fuck me.
