I am writing this letter because I am really finding it difficult living in this new reality of covid with the mask and vaccine mandates and requirements. I feel that the government has no business making any decisions regarding medical decisions for individuals, like the mandates I’ve seen for the last two years because every single individual has their own medical needs.

But in the last two years that we’ve been dealing with the lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates I’ve seen a complete breakdown in society as a whole. I’ve seen people turn against people they once befriended and its definitely caused more of a divide among people and the statistics in mental health, drug and alcohol addiction, etc. It’ like were supposed to be getting better with bridging the divide and equality but in the last two years we’ve been getting worse.
