according to the official tallies, cases are supposedly going down. so, why are they targeting bars & restaurants, at this point in the process?

well, they just passed a hijab law for kids, with the apparent purpose of habituating them to mask use. i mean, just think about you're doing  - you're telling 10 to 15 year-old kids to wear masks at school. what's going to happen?

1) they're only going to wear them when there are adults looking over them.
2) they're going to grab the front of the mask repeatedly (defeating the point)
3) they're going to grab each other's masks and play games with them. there will be kids that have their masks stolen.

..and you can follow my train of thought from there.

these are actually exactly the reasons that health experts hesitated to even talk about masks for so long - if you don't wear them right, they'll make things worse.

on top of that, you're talking about kids in very close quarters. if actual medical masks may have some marginal benefit in stopping spread in spaces like malls, hijab-type cloth masks are going to be entirely useless in stopping the spread amongst kids in close proximity to each other.

and, you're not going to succeed in keeping kids apart from each other without exceedingly strict measures that nobody is going to tolerate.

it's a crazy idea, for any reason other than to try to habituate. that's what they're doing. deal with it.

and, what's next on the list?

alcohol.

muslims forbid any consumption of alcohol.

are you starting to get it yet?
