[QUOTE="MFE, post: 16599740, member: 36397"] I like this sentiment and the time you took to post it, but I'd LOVE to see how different the mental health is between hard lockdown states and lighter touch states. Two things: First, I ran an endurance race this weekend outside of Tucson with an organization based on the west coast. Their drivers meeting addressed masking and social distancing this way: "We're from the Bay Area. We're lucky we even got to leave our house. Now we're in Arizona for the first time and your Governor just removed the last of your restrictions. Obviously, you do you, use your judgement and what suits your comfort level. Just please, please, be careful about what you post on social media with pictures showing large numbers of people not masked or social distancing, because not everybody out there is as understanding." Scared to death of the business ramifications of not being a good Comrade. Second, I recently read a terribly sad article about a town in New Mexico very close to the Texas state line. And about how NM was completely locked down, no school in person, no high school sports. But just a few miles away in TX, schools open, sports being played. Star high school football player coming into his senior year when college scouts are supposed to be looking...can't play. He goes to games in TX just to watch, he's recognized. Like, why is this kid in the stands and not on the field? School and sports are this kid's life. Ends up killing himself over what amounts to an arbitrary delineation with basically ZERO statistical difference in outcomes. This whole year has sucked in a lot of ways, but living in AZ, and being a good mask boy and now fully vaccinated, I can't even [i]imagine[/i] what it's been like to live in a hard lockdown state.
