As Europe continues to see its reported Covid deaths drop below normal flu season levels, the level of hypochondria in certain pandemic-obsessed countries continues to drive irrational Covid policies.

As it turns out, forcing healthy people to wear masks all day can have grave health side effects, not to mention covering faces can induce unnecessary anxiety and stress, as well as making it difficult to interact with people who are wearing masks, or not wearing them.

However, for Governments, masks are a much-needed visual reminder of a ‘global pandemic’, and an essential tool for authorities desperate to foster mass compliance, as well as preserving all of their newfound powers gained over the past 12 months. Unfortunately, certain shaky Governments have already drifted way over the totalitarian precipice, with the ruling elite becoming increasingly unable to voluntarily bring society back to normal, save for a massive social unrest which forces the Government to abandon it’s failed policies.
