Mandates or guidelines do not equal compliance. What is obvious is that not everyone is simply wearing masks in public or avoiding large indoor gatherings.

The reality is that any future lockdowns would not be because masks and distancing are "not nearly enough to stop the spread". It would be because many people refused to do those things.

We don't have to have lockdowns to contain the virus. We just have to give a ****. And, unfortunately, that can't be mandated.
amen!!!
