Masklessness as a consequence

Understanding governments' support for masklessness as a consequence of the political power of business.

I don't think that governments ended antitransmission requirements in obedience to a commend from businesses. And I don't think that the pressure comes only from business. But we can see that businesses acted to shift public attention from the dangers of Covid-19 to the attractions of behaving as if things were normal and safe.

Around one million Americans have died from Covid-19 so far. Over 20 million report suffering from long Covid.

Masks suck a little. Dying sucks worse. Being incapacitated for life sucks totally.
