Masks, distancing, and lockdowns are very much like TSA security: Theater designed to convince the sheep that the government is doing SOMETHING to protect them. Problem is, now that career bureaucrats have gotten a taste of the power and control they wield, they will be unlikely to give it up easily.
Nix masks, distancing and lockdowns won't make the virus go away but if we keep apart, have fewer contacts and don't spit into each other faces when speaking, breathing hard, yelling etc because we wear masks that stops the droplets and aerosols then we can help slow the spread until those most at risk have had a chance to get to the vaccines.
I dislike airport security and excessive bureaucracy as much as the next guy but I think comparing masks and distancing to TSA is not helpful.
