Be certain to wear your N-Zero mask and social distance 6' apart as
you wait in line for your booster.
Do you really like standing close to people in line? Creepy.
Do you really think it was realistic to make people adhere to solo mask mandates, Hammy dear?
You ardently fascistic serf.
AI Overview
Some of the most widely criticized and
bizarre COVID-19 restrictions included banning outdoor activities like
surfing and golf, requiring restaurants to serve "substantial food"
like a sandwich with alcohol, closing public playgrounds by dumping
sand in them, and setting arbitrary nighttime curfews.
Outdoor and
Recreation BansClosing beaches and ocean access:
Several coastal areas
banned walking on sand or surfing, despite outdoor transmission risks
being extremely low.
Banning golf and skiing:
Ontario briefly banned
outdoor golf and skiing, forcing people indoors.
Filling playgrounds
with sand or tape:
Cities roped off playground equipment or dumped sand
and gravel over skate parks and playgrounds to stop kids from using
them.
Food and Drink Mandates
The "substantial meal" rule:
Places like
New York required bars and drink-only establishments to serve
"substantive food" (like soups or chicken wings) so they could legally
stay open, leading to reusable or untouched "compliance sandwiches"
sitting on tables.
Aisle-by-aisle blockades: Big-box stores in parts of
Canada roped off sections selling "non-essential" goods like books or
gardening supplies while keeping other aisles open.
Movement and Curfew Rules
Illogical curfews:
Nighttime curfews forced businesses to close
early, which often packed daytime shoppers into tighter crowds rather
than reducing overall contact.
Solo masking mandates: Rules in various
regions technically required people to wear masks while driving alone
in their own cars or walking solo in remote outdoor areas.
