>the inconvenience Oh hell no. I did not live through an "inconvenience". I and my kids now inhabit a world that will deal with the societal and economic damage for many years. And no, I'm not just going to let slide a historically unprecedented, in scope and scale, change in citizen/government dynamics, and for a disease where you couldn't even begin to question the official narrative without being branded an evil anti-vaxxer. We absolutely need to analyse what was done, and sort the panicked, fear-driven polices from what was useful.

So maybe analyze it instead of leading with the conclusion first? Don't forget to come up with a plausible better concrete alternative so we can compare/contrast.

i swear, with the exception of china, no country has had anything remotely resembling a lockdown since early 2021. what are you still complaining about? you won, no one likes a sore winner.

  Where I live (Wales, UK), we had "local lockdowns" (where citizens were not allowed to leave they county they lived in) until late 2021. Even without that, there were still significant restrictions in place on our daily lives, like in many other places. >what are you still complaining about? you won, no one likes a sore winner. "Won" means that we are all allowed out of our houses? I'm complaining about the damage that has been done.
