There are many things I would like to do, but won't due to mask mandates. Two years in a row my vacation plans have been ruined by overbearing officials. So there will be plenty of leisure catching up for me to do IF life ever gets back to normal.

Unfortunately we are setting ourselves up for lots of medical problems down the road by wearing masks. I was talking with my neighbor the other day and he was saying our bodies need to be exposed to germs to develop immunity. With a mask, you aren't.

I have read that one reason more kids are asthmatic today is that homes are too clean. It's called the hygiene hypothesis. Here is the article from the FDA:

The article discusses RSV. No surprise that pediatric wards started filling with RSV cases after children were forced to wear masks.

There are so many unintended consequences of masks life may never get back to normal, though I hope it does.

Another term for this is "the cure is worse than the disease".
