I have to say even me (who frankly leans right and is usually against most types of government aid that is dollars only) has tacitly supported stimulus since the problem is a government created problems. To be clear - Not that Covid is created by the government but instead that government is demanding that we do something to curb it and therefore is creating a hinderance to work. That hinderance is made up unfortunately of stimulus checks.
So to have someone who is vehemently against stimulus in regular situations not putting up a resistance (and I know others like me) is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for those who support even mildly socialist concepts to push new spending and social welfare through.
In that case, if you are someone wielding that power during a serious crisis, it’s going to be hard to let that go.
As for the masks, despite being mandatory at my gym - if there are 100 people there, only 10-20 of us are wearing a mask. Disappointing but even if there are laws to mandate it, are police really going to run around and enforce it?
