Anybody remember the pandemic?

@pripyatamusementpark my life during the pandemic really didn't change much. I was doing my own kidney disease/failure/dialysis thing. "Oh I can't go anywhere or be around people? I wasn't planning on doing any of that anyway".

@FreestyleArt Before they had a mask ordinance here in my city I could run a lot of errands and shopping in about half the time I usually did. There was so little traffic to deal with and not many standing in line in the stores. Then after they passed that ordinance I drove to the next city (which didn’t have that ordinance) and did all of my grocery shopping at one large locally-owned store. I’m sure others did the same and the city lost a of sales tax as a result because of it. They stopped printing the quarterly sales tax revenues in the newspaper when that was going on. DIdn’t want the citizens to see how much this was affecting shopping here.
