No. We should have done more to protect those who were actually the most vulnerable instead of doing things like insisting that first graders wear a mask all day in class. In case you didn't notice, the over-reaction (including shutdowns) caused the stock market to rise significantly during the first two years of the pandemic so the opposite of your comment actually happened.

>who were actually the most vulnerable instead of doing things like insisting that first graders wear a mask all day in class Having kids wear masks in school is exactly helping part of the most vulnerable group. You know who spreads more germs? Fucking kids. You know where large groups of people who are good at spreading germs and often times have nothing else in common outside of that place? Grade schools. A descent population of elementary school teachers are in the upper age ranges. Grandparents (group in vulnerable range) often take kids to school/pickup and help take care of the children. So you really need to stop and think what in the hell you are saying acting like elementary school kids should not have been wearing masks.

  Swedish health officials decided throughout that the adult population isn't able to wear a mask correctly so recommended against the use. Touching it by moving it or taking it off/on will make your hands into spreaders. If adults can't do it, I'm curious how kids deal with it.

    Today we have the benefit of hindsight. We have mountains of data showing that masks and other social distancing mandates did in fact significantly slow the spread of COVID-19, despite the number of idiots who wore their masks incorrectly.

  Where I live, kids were never made to wear masks and even mandatory testing was dropped pretty fast.
