I never realized how powerful FEAR is as a motivator! Sad that you lost a best friend... I am sure there are many like this.
I do not consent to "their" new normal but I know we will never go back to old normal. It sounds kind of rude but how do you even share your time with these sheeple when this is over? Like what will you talk about with people who are so close minded, they aren't open to hearing new things or learning new things and put their fears higher than our rights? .... my time is more precious than that.
