The University of Chicago went online for a full year after the personal contact strictures were discarded for the George Floyd riots. From Jack Plimpton at lewrockwell.com:
In recognition of the fourth anniversary of the US government’s response to covid, a Mises Apprentice shares their experience as a student during this tumultuous time, highlighting five dates they will never forget.
5.) April 2022: “Despite the University’s policy to relax mask mandates and no longer require masks, we will have an open vote in our class next week if we will all ‘commit’ ourselves to continue mask requirements during this course.” I was told this by said my professor on the 1st day of class. Notably, this was after a year of fully remote (2020-2021), followed by two quarters of fully masked but in-person (some professors even required two masks) for Fall 2021 and Winter 2022. Additionally, this was after a COVID double dose was required as well. At this point, anyone ‘unvaccinated’ was required to make direct contact with a doctor in the medical school to explain our individual justification for not receiving a double dose and a booster. Moreover, they attempted to ensure we were getting tested every week, or our student access cards would be red-flagged and invalidated; if we were positive or even in a class with a positive case, we would have to miss 1-2 weeks. Yes, even if you had COVID the month before and were now completely asymptomatic (aka not sick). No library access…no entry to lecture halls…nothing…you’re cast out as an unclean, untouchable class.
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
I’m sure it couldn’t touch academia but the six feet apart floor markings, masked up driver in a convertible with the top down, non-masker busting out $1000+ and saying I’ll take my money elsewhere to the mask Nazi Karen at the bookstore, the siren loudspeaker trailer in the Sack-N-Save blaring some doomy messages, these are the most bizarre for comrade citizen.
The real virus is communism.
