> Future histories will probably be written about exactly why the country obsessed so much over the safety of the least vulnerable group... Anecdotal observation, but this history was and is being written now. Unfortunately, those voices are consistently dismissed, marginalized, etc. The article itself notes mentions the near zeto rate of children effected, but zooms right by it, as if questioning such things shouldn't happen. History is written by the victors. It will be a long time - read: 100+ yrs - before there's an objective take on the last couple yrs.

Now everyone is rationalizing their own fears. Some will be proven right, but probably it0's more luck than a visionary insight. I'm more optimistic and I think that in 20 years we will have a good enough understanding of what we did right and what we did wrong. We need at least 20 years so that each one that took a decision without too much time to spare and incomplete information is not longer in power and covering their own ass. I remember playing the "Corona Game" https://koronahra.cz/game https://koronahra.cz/game https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27763873 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27763873 and I was very nervous, and there was no life in the line. I also appreciate that they call it the "Corona Game" and not the "Corona Simulator" because their model is not accurate enough and they are just guessing a lot of the coefficients of the simulation.
