I shook hands today with someone. It was nice. No masks. Last week I saw a doctor. All the nurses and even the doctor were continually pulling their masks down, and up. During the consult he had his down, so did I. More and more seem to be waking up. Except those driving alone wearing two masks. No shop has asked me to wear one, although I don't go to the larger stores.
(we are in lockdown and masks, distancing, and seeing anyone is illegal, so I am now a criminal)
The power and control, and the demonstration of mass compliance by wearing a symbol of a gag across your mouth is necessary in my opinion, for the next and most important step: the depopulation. When people see others complying and lining up to be 'shot', they will go along with it.
