The funny thing about all these “risks of lockdown” is that the country facing the biggest post pandemic mental health crises, etc., is the US. A country which never even had a real lockdown and even if we consider the US’s “well, don’t eat meals indoors in restaurants for a few months” fake lockdowns to be the same as say European “you can’t meet people outside your household for months” lockdowns, European countries just had much longer lockdowns.
Yet European countries are not exhibiting all these negative effects of the lockdowns the U.S. is. Crime, suicides, traffic violence, none of those surged in comparable European countries the way it did in the U.S.

Europe isn't some magical wonderland. It's just poorer than the US but with better infrastructure.
