March was the the time to be concerned, when we didn’t know what the heck this thing is. While the left was yelling racist at us and POTUS. Of course once we realized it’s all bs propaganda is when the left started pushing the mask mandates and lockdown bs

This is correct. I remember being concerned because we didn't know what exactly we were facing, and I was open to masks when they were voluntary.

But the minute they started saying you had to use them, I knew it was shit.

What's particularly awful about the whole mask thing is how inconsistent the medical experts were.

At first they said that n95 masks needed to be reserved and procured for medical professionals, first responders, etc. and that masks wouldn't be helpful for the general populace. This brings up an interesting conundrum: If face coverings were so important to contain the virus, why did they actively discourage their use for months? If any kind of face covering is acceptable now, why weren't they being pushed at the start of this?

I did little to "flatten the curve". Now I feel ashamed for being fooled for taking it as seriously as I did.

When we realized it was BS is when they went to plan B, BLM/ANTIFA Riots

Yeah, there's a difference between a short term measure while we take the time to learn about it, but mandating it so long that people are intended to feel it's the norm is sheer insanity.
