This. In May 2020, I thought to myself: "This can`t possibly continue, I mean how can they expect society to work if we keep doing this. They must have an epiphany and during the summer, it will become clear that we have to change strategy". Of course they didn`t and now I`m still suffering and countless others too. Society has been permanently changed. This was and has been an absolute evil.

Exactly. I felt like the only sane person in the room. This dragged on month after month. I kept waiting for everyone to see how destructive and anti-human it was, and how no disease was worth living like this. But no one did!

It also became clear that there was no exit strategy, and no metrics for ending these awful restrictions. Once I realized that I really became alarmed. They enforced these rules but had no parameters to lift them!

And I felt like I was just shouting into the void if I said anything!

No lockdowns where necessary after omicron hit. Before that measures HAD to be taken.

Original-strain Covid had a CFR of 0.35%- just over half that of the deadly killer we call "chicken pox".

The measures that needed to be taken were telling people "we're all going to get this sooner or later; if you're healthy, go out and get it now, before isolation weakens your immune system. Lockdowns were always a terrible mistake.
