Somewhat agreed in direction, but disagree in statement. We weren't "punishing" the whole population. Nor were basic movement and commerce flat out taken from most people. There are some countries that did that, true, but I was always able to make it in to a mostly empty office to do work. And buying things was never fully impacted. I would love to see an even handed comparison of the different responses in all countries to know if any had meaningful impact. But with how wildly different the virus acted in places, I am worried nobody will believe any analysis. At the least, we know not everyone will. And I fully cede my understanding may be sadly behind. I remember the damage/death it was doing at the beginning in Italy and how we were all trying to not overwhelm hospitals. Then, the next few years had case counts that were off the charts, and I'm not sure what changed. Do we have a good handle on that, now?
