Lockdowns comfort me, knowing that I have less chance to get (and spread, if I do happen to have it) the virus if I'm not out and about.

- tdrdt 5y agoThat is one aspect of a lockdown. But there are others and they are different for each person. In the Netherlands it was estimated that a lockdown would save 150000 life years but would cost 650000. This takes into account a huge number of factors. For example health, but also job safety, happiness, and so on. A lockdown causes stress for a lot of people. It seems you are not one of them.
- 0xdeadb00f 5y agoYes I'm not denying that it causes people stress. Just putting my thoughts in. I think because I'm not stressed about it I'm definitely in a position of privilege. There are people who could not work during lockdowns - and I can completely understand why such people would be stressed. Not being able to make a living, and not knowing what's to come.
