22 sats \ 15 replies \ @Satosora 26 Sep \ on: Covid Tyrants Partied While Demanding Lockdowns for Everyone Else Politics_And_Law
This is what happens when you give government too much power. Was there any state that did nothing? Or did all the states have some kind of vaccination mandate?

South Dakota had no Covid measures that I'm aware of. Many states, probably most, had no vaccine mandates.

I was out of the country for the majority of it. I just know Taiwan was very rigid about covid.

Basically, red states were fairly open after a few months and blue states went full on tyranny for three years.

I have to check the red and blue map and see how serious it was. I knew it...my state is blue! No wonder we struggled!

Literally millions of people fled blue states for red ones because of Covid tyranny.

I think the Covid measures were similar on either coast, but being locked down in a NYC apartment is so much worse than being locked down in a house.

Yes, when I was in the state we were still able to go out and see nature and stuff.

Do you mean "nation state" (as in countries) or American state?

I'd be interested in your answer to either.

Maybe some isolated Amazonian tribe or similar carried on as normal 🤷‍♀️

There were actually plenty of third world countries that carried on like normal, regardless of what the political class may have tried to do. The one that comes to mind is Malawi, where they realized they couldn't do any kind of lockdown, because that would cause mass starvation.

Taiwan locked down very hard. Especially in the beginning before the vaccine came out. It relaxed a bit after the first wave of vaccinations were out.
