Here in the US the Covid restrictions are back to an absolute minimum. I don't even have to wear a mask at work anymore. They've even been rolling back the mandates in more restrictive states than mine, but this is most likely them responding to very negative sentiment towards them ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

It's been shocking to see all of our "free" nation governments jump towards authoritarianism. First for our safety, but even after safety is not a concern they continued even more so when people resisted.
It's also troubling to see Antifa stirring up trouble in New Zealand. Another piece of the puzzle that can be found in every western nation. 
Here in the US Antifa would show up to protest AGAINST anti-vaccine mandate rallies which makes zero sense when they're supposedly anarchists, and usually anti-government. Proves all the more that they are a method to destroy free nations.
