I suppose it’s a matter of perspective, if you love the lockdown these pieces are just confirming your own beliefs, otherwise it’s making excuses for some pretty ridiculous policy. You are correct that these excuse pieces are not justifying the whole thing. On the contrary, the whole thing justifies ridicule. At the very least. Wave away the ‘little substance’ whatever you want. It’s not going away, it’ll be in your face for a long time and ultimately history will look at the handling of this pandemic even worse than the way we look at middle age medicine. Because we could have known better, for whatever reason we just chose not to.
