This is exactly right. Locking people down, wearing masks, quarantining healthy people, isolating children, isolating young and healthy people who could’ve helped us cycle through this virus was the worst thing we could’ve done. Even taking into account that they inflated the numbers, COVID-19 was very clearly worse than the average seasonal flu virus. But not much. It didn’t have to be this way. Absolutely everything the government did was the wrong thing to do.
Even down to the way they handled nursing homes, they fumbled this thing, on purpose many believe for good reason, and made everything worse.
There is a separate respiratory illness going around Public schools right now. For two reasons, kids have no immune systems and wearing masks is harming them. Absolutely every single thing they did backfired. Goddamn them.
Finally! Someone who gets it. Thanks for taking the time to write that up and respond.
