I know what you're thinking. "Brodigan, people are already freaking out over mere RUMORS of a new SCHMOVID?" No, these are people still freaking out over old SCHMOVID. In 2023. We are so far past fifteen days to flatten the curve, I'm too lazy to do the math. I think we're approaching a thousand.

Back in April -- again, it is 2023 now -- Vancouver British Columbia lifted its mask rules as the providence had only finally, quote, emerged from the schmandemic. Four months later, maskers protested outside of Health Minister Adrian Dix’s office calling on the provincial government to "re-instate mandatory masking." Both in the name of public health and "basic moral outrage."

I'll leave you to determine if it was public health or basic moral outrage that led to protesters assaulting one counter-protester not wearing a mask.

SCHMOVID kills. Though, not as much as crack.

Whether or not you believe that governments are going to use new SCHMOVID to institute new more better lockdowns depends on how much tinfoil you have left to fashion into a scally cap. I'm torn. On one hand, I don't believe people learned their lesson the last time and will be quick to run back into a government-induced panic. Especially when I live in a blue state that doesn't believe in science as much as they do politics and how much money the teacher's unions give Democrats.

The flip side? Mask meltdowns were AMAZING content:

Is it worth plunging the world into chaos again just so content hustlers like myself can get easy pageviews? Who's to say what's "right" or "wrong" anymore?
