Covid for 90% of the population was never something to have fear over. Something to be cautious about yes but the range of sheer panic among people under 40 in good health that i met was beyond silly. I don’t trust the media anymore on anything. Every article they print that i have deep knowledge about or insider information on is so wrong as to be malicious. Read the news to get an idea of what is going on but any opinion they present and most facts are pure bullshit.

There was a summer when we didn't know what the hell the virus was going to do. Where hospitals were overflowing so much that if a young person got in a car accident they'd sit in an ambulance. Or if they got the sniffles and hugged their mom they'd kill her. I'm starting to distrust any person who claims to distrust the media over covid.

    Some people are pushing mandates, many aren't. And there was a time when mandates made sense. There may likely be a time in the future when a mandate would make sense again.

    I would say that we had a spring even. Because by the summer with the whole world taking to the streets over George Floyd, it seemed pretty much like we weren’t going to have a major problem.

I don’t ever remember the fear of covid among informed people being the mortality risk of under 40’s. I do remember the covid fear being the collapse of the healthcare system due to under-resourced hospitals being stretched to thin from the rate of hospitalization of covid cases. I also know that people did die from being crowded out by covid patients.

To me the fear seemed mostly directed to local health infrastructure being in a position of crumbling down under the case load, which still holds true in many places. Can't speak for every country, but over here we're still one wave large enough away from overloading our ICUs. Each wave brought us extremely close to the cutoff.
