    Kids were asked to stand in places marked with circles. Oh the horror!

    That happened before the Covid outbreak but with less distance. They are asked to walk in line, keep their personal bubble space all the time and it was regular practice before Covid.

    What the hell is wrong with kids having a spot to stand?

    Yeah I don't get why having kids space themselves out is so horrible. I still see in stores where they mark out where people should stand while waiting in line.

    It is like the tweet author has no idea what kids do in pre-school. Just like.

    We definitely should let the most ignorant among us dictate policy that has zero impact on them … think of all of those liberal tears!!!

    Correlation versus Causation. You pick’em. Guessing you will be all in on the wrong answer.

    The picture is from August 2020. You can tell this from the tweeters next tweet where he says where the picture was taken.

    Kids being taught how to social distance at a time when COVID was rampant with no vaccines available and kids just trying to go back to school in 2020...

    Why was that an issue? What was your point of posting that?

    Nobody help him out here.

    It’s cute when they try and sort things out for the first time.

    I remember when his big argument was that "forcing" kids to wear masks was child abuse. Yet here he is complaining about kids being asked to stand socially distant during the height of the pandemic. I reckon masks were never the issue...

    I'm guessing he thought the tweet was current and didn't bother looking at the tweeter's next tweet where we find out it was from August 2020.

    If you guys think in 2022 that making kids stand in "socially distant" circles had ANY effect on virus spread in the pandemic, I have some plexiglass to sell you...

    What we know in 2022 is a whole lot different than what was known in 2020.

    You know that. Just admit you screwed up and be done with it rather than trying to justify what was going on in Scotland 2 years ago.

    A big win for freedom and a big loss for the advocates of government imposed biomedical tyranny:

    Judge Declares Federal Public Transportation Mask Mandate Unlawful

    A federal judge threw out the federal government’s mask mandate for airports, airplanes and other public transportation Monday, ruling the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention exceeded its authority by imposing the mask requirement days after the agency extended it another two weeks.

    U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, issued a ruling that declared the mask mandate unlawful and blocked it by vacating the order and sending it back to the CDC “for further proceedings.”

    The anti-mandate Health Freedom Defense Fund had sued the CDC and federal officials over the mask requirement, asking the court to declare the order unlawful and set it aside under the Administrative Procedure Act.​

    Hopefully if they are going to eliminate it, do it before I fly again on Thursday, but I imagine it will drag on in the courts well beyond that.

    At least get it done before we head to Hawaii in May.

    No government intervention strategy did a thing to prevent COVID from spreading. Lockdowns destroyed businesses and then caused the government to slash interest rates and print money which in turn, led to runaway inflation. Masking gave people a false sense of security, which in turn, caused them to gather and do less distancing, which led to more spread. The thought that a cloth mask traps an aerosol virus is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The vaccines were not true vaccines but rather therapeutics which helped with symptoms but did little to prevent spread. The bottom line is that trying to contain an aerosol virus is impossible. The best course of action would have been to go about our daily lives, eat healthy food, exercise, and get sunlight. Never have individual rights been under assault as much as the last two years. The cost of being overcautious was immense -- psychological damage, preventative medical care foregone, economic devastation, mental health problems everywhere you look...

    The liberals' belief that the government is a benevolent force for good in keeping us healthy is not only stupid but it's scary. The rational amongst us let these paternalistic sociopaths negatively impact our lives and our kids' lives for way too long. It's time to push back forcefully against their flawed thinking.
