CCP obviously an issue, but every day I see the west turning more authoritarian. If you read 1984, you see the parallel of 1984 the book envisioned & what we have today. Revision history, right speech, big brother, thought police, & people reporting others for wrong thoughts.
Germany is okayish. Once in a while, some spike in C.virus, but life is pretty slowly back to normal. Weekend, cities are filled with people. NO ONE literally wears a mask (not saying its a good or bad thing, just observation) outside of the interior.
