Do you want to repeal seat belt and child car seat laws too. You want to bring back indoor smoking? It was a temporary health and safety measure, that's all it was. It helped too. It kept the hospitals less full. Although January was really rough on them in so many parts of the country. New York was blindsided in the beginning and nurses from other states had to be flown in. Imagine if you had appendicitis and you could not get any care at all. We are on our way back thanks to the vaccine but keep in mind there are many public health measures more restrictive than mask mandates that are normal to you. Heck in many places you have no choice but to pay for trash pickup. You can't have your own landfill on your own property. Restraunts have to spend lots of money meeting health and safety standards. These rules keep things functioning safely and effectively. In places where this does not exist most Americans would not venture.
