Although COVID-19 has improved a lot of things for office workers who didn't lose their jobs, life has become a miserable shadow of what it once was. As someone who's spent the last 3 years living a nomadic lifestyle traveling the world, now I'm severely limited in where I can go, and anywhere I go life isn't the same - people wearing masks, distancing and avoiding eye contact, half of local businesses closed, fear.
And now someone's going to reply to me saying "don't you know there's a pandemic! How could you be so selfish as to complain about not being able to travel when people are dying." And that's exactly my point.
[1] EDIT: I meant to say that many of the Asian countries hailed as role models in handling the pandemic - South Korea, Taiwan, etc - never had to resort to lockdowns. Meanwhile the U.S. had strict lockdowns and Europe is still practically shut down. This makes it even more absurd to me that one isn't allowed to question lockdowns without being labeled some selfish Trump anti-vaxxer.
