I've always believed as one expert well put it on a televised interview recently.

Comparing the U.S. to any one country is not really accurate in this case.

It's more like 50 different countries, all going in distinctly separate directions.

A strong federal leadership from the very beginning may have yielded much better results.
Exactly. You have states doing INSANE SHIT, I saw a fistfight today in Aldi's here in Irving, Texas, a man went in about 40 years old, no mask, the poor Nepali cashier had to walk up to him around her register and say "Sir, Im sorry, I have to call security if you do NOT COMPLY with the mask mandate." This dude said I DONT CARE, I'M FREE, I NEED TO BUY FOOD. So she called security but before they showed up NAOTHER 40 year old guy went up to him and screamed thru his mask MOFO, ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE FUCKING THINGS UP! GET THE F*** OUT OF THIS STORE, YOURE THREATENING EVERYONE HERE, next thing I know I hear a bottle break, I ran up to the end of the aisle and glass everywhere, the asshole had grabbed a glass jar of peanuts and threw it down at the other guy's feet, both screaming at eaech other, the maskless PIECE OF SHIT tackled the other guy and they are on the ground like UFC punching each other in the ribs, both were evenly matched, then security comes in and pulls them apart. Its insane over here, now Abbott was forced to EAT FUCKING CROW TONIGHT, and declared this Mask Mandate IN ALL PLACES IN PUBLIC. People are going to start shooting places up here when denied entry. This country is totally fucked. Get me the living hell out of here. First fucking flight out. You all can have it. I know when I see a totally collapsed empire from its own HUBRIS.

Anyone might read what you wrote and think "Man... this guy must be exaggerating" or something to that effect.

But you're not. That same scenario is likely repeated countless times all over the country.

It's beyond sad that people would lose their humanity over stupid shit like having to wear a mask.

What worries me is that we receive a lot of flights daily from two of the most affected States, Florida and Texas.

We've been pretty well under control down here... but with this flow of people from States where people are so rebellious and don't give a shit.... we're bound to be headed into difficult times.
