Someone at a Kava bar I frequent found out that I’ve been vocal against Covid authoritarianism and began asking me about it, finding solace in hearing someone echo his doubts. 

Someone else nearby overheard us, specifically while mentioning the number of business owners who lost their businesses. 

“You all need to get some fucking proportion. They lost their business but are fucking alive! It was a worldwide pandemic for God’s sake.”

We have much work to do, folks.
