It was the damn lockdowns, the idiotic response to the pandemic, and most importantly the time it went on for. Masks and distancing would've been enough after the first half a year ffs. But to be fair, we deserve it for running such a fragile system. And they should've just made vaccines mandatory, none of this bullshit soft encouragement while people can't cross borders. People weren't "dropping like flies", either, especially not those of working age. Less than 0.1% dead worldwide, the vast majority of which were over 65. Reminds me of that Reddit thread on psychosomatic death where people were sad their relatives suddenly died. Their 80-90 year old relatives. I mean, fuck me, that's a good life lived right there. Another year or two doesn't make much of a difference. But that's unrelated to Covid, it's just the same type of weird fearful thinking.
