it is amazing how many masked people I see in a day. Wow. Yesterday I had to go to the hospital to visit my brother who is in ICU with pneumonia - It took quite a bit to prepare to interact with THE DEAD. Of course ALL the nurses and whatnots in the hospital were masked up - but they didn't require me to - which is just WEIRD. Some of the orderlies were not. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT???? un-BE-LIE-V-ABLE... whatdyacallit - cognitive dissonance -
I don't know what part the world you live in, but here in the Vancouver, BC area the masks just won't quit. Yes, "collective" cognitive dissonance which I feel can be accounted for as the residue of Covid trauma which the MSM drilled into the sheeple for 3 years straight--and it's still on the back burner with their Bird Flu hoax. Masks symbolize the scamdemic. They wear it partly out of a virtue signalling habit and part out of conditioned fear reflex.
I am in Denver, Colorado, USA. and you are correct in your assessment, I believe.
Ahh--beautiful scenery in your part of the country. I hitchhiked there when I was a young man---ended up in Boulder for a few days.
ah yes - now it's a smart city...way overcrowded and still being built...oh well. The mountains are amazing. And we have a house on the plains.
Nice. Yes, I remember those red mountains.
