You then said "and that mandate didn't last very long.''  What would you like me to "chew on"............hillbilly stew?   You however, have adopted a self-stated Bulverist position, strongly suspecting my statement was created without giving your words due consideration, a judgement impossible for you to make.  I could have spent hours in silent meditation, solemnly pondering the wisdom of your words.  

P.S.  I didn't though.  I immediately knew it was wrong without the need for further research, consultation or tarot card readings.  Sorry if you're offended.  

"Not very long" isn't definite. It's subjective.  Covid's been here for 8 months now.  5 or 6 weeks of a certain mandate isn't very long in terms of the whole battle against the disease.

LOL.  Are you really so unable to recall your own words?  The statement was in reference to the government-ordered closure of non-essential businesses,  which also required businesses selling groceries (Walmart, etc.) to close off areas carrying non-essential items.  These closures lasted approximately 1-2 months, which is the time context in which your "5 or 6 weeks of a certain mandate" comment was made.  The total length of time Covid has been in the US is irrelevant and was never a consideration in the discussion.
