I hate to say it but I think they will attempt to shut the gate after the horse has bolted. I hope it's just my GenX cynicism talking. I don't want to do this again either. The last time didn't exactly fill me with confidence, with all the politicking and social and mainstream media misinformation, and people just openly breaching the guidelines because they didn't care enough, the antimaskers and antivaxers and sovereign citizens. After all we went through, I still see people not washing their hands when they should and coughing all over people in public places. It wasn't that long ago, not long enough to have forgotten so easily, and it makes me angry and sad.
I agree. Probably going to be a repeat of the last time. It worries me because of my immune system and also avian flu can be fatal to cats.
