Interesting take. I have lost nothing for example. I gained a lot over the last 1.5 years.

I am vaccinated. I keep my distance. I do everything to protect those that need societies' help to do so (medical personnel, people that can't be vaccinated like people on chemo or pregnant women in the first trimester).

I additionally used the time not stuck in senseless commute to create a side business. Started to learn a new language and helped local businesses to grow their online presence.

Additionally as foster home we provided shelter for about 25 cats that now live in loving families.

I think it depends on how one views these times. For me it is a massive win.
