A bit of a shame, there were definitely a fair number of users on there who were pushing misinformation and such, but it was also a break from the attitude you see across most of reddit - that politicians can just never be doing enough and we should always be willing to restrict more freedoms for any level of disease prevention.
I saw someone in a subreddit for my state seriously suggesting that we need to distribute N95 respirators to everyone and go on a military lockdown until cases go to zero for an extended period.

What is this? The page requires being signed-in to view and does not have a description of this subreddit publicly viewable. What's the significance here?
Are they also going to quarantine NNN’s controlled opposition, r/CovidVaccinated? That subreddit is filled with LARPers screenshotting their own posts so they can make fun of them on 4chan and NoNewNormal. There are probably a dozen people posting 80% of the content there.
