It's way beyond masks. It's shutting down schools (mostly fine for upper-middle class types, potentially crippling for the less well off), wiping out small businesses, and forbidding any semblance of normal social life. Minimizing this as "just masks and social distancing" hugely underestimates the costs.

- rorykoehler 6y agoIf everyone wore masks and took social distancing seriously then we’d long have seen the back of the virus. All my friends in Singapore, China and Taiwan are already living normal lives again. All this pandemic has done is revealed the flaws of hyper-individualism. I have much less respect for my fellow westerners and even some old friends after this experience. Just a childishly pathetic way to approach life and society.
