not hard wearing a mask ,its only like using a tissue or hanky when you cough of sneeze, the old way of catching bugs ,dont know if it works but doesn't hurt trying ,,just saying !!

It’s not about the mask, it’s about the tyrannical penalty. It also makes no sense. Fined for not wearing one in a shop, but you can go maskless in a pub. @Barny52

@Carissimi we thus see people wanting to "be governed". A government is elected to serve the people according to their constitution.

Democracy was once a kind of self-government, which people envisioned as freedom from kings. In the vision, there was no concept of a governer- governed relationship. This was the whole point of freedom movements all over the world. People wanted to govern themselves. And they adopted constitutions .

A government begins when it gets majority vote. It ends when it loses majority votes. A nation begins with the adoption of a constitution and ends with its dismissal.

How can we blame politicians when people are demanding tyranny in the name of " being government by an elected government"?
