Yes.
A major component of how the gov't failed was locking people indoor when they should have promoted going outside, getting activity, vitamin D, etc. California actually closed parks and beaches, and dumped sand into skate parks to prevent skating.
A complete and utter failure.
Government failure at the highest levels, yet it's never discussed, and they've never taken accountability.
Hopefully, we will learn from our failures. Fear is a powerful motivator. Since the beginning of the pandemic, people have been afraid of the unknown. Although there have been pandemics in the past, I don't think any of them have affected so many people. I am not just talking about the people who got sick. Communication being what it is today, people who would have been left in the dark in the past know what's going on within a couple of days. Paranoia is rampant.
You may be right, maybe the world should have acted if everything was business as usual. Mostly old and sick people were affected in the beginning. Some see these folks as a drain on society. Most of us are not willing to vocalize this because that's not how human being operate...and some of us are old and/or sick.
I decided to live on the edge today. LOL! So I took myself out to breakfast....and no doubt exposed myself to COVID. But damn, it was a delicious meal and I had a great time. Maybe I'll start working out at the gym next week. I'm on a roll.
