Yes mortality is low and kids are quite safe from hard impacts but they don't live in a bubble. They meet people.
Also: even if you don't die of it, it could have severe impacts on your life. Long Covid is a thing.
It's not that simple...
That doesn't really follow logically. The reason why that's the advice on airplanes is that you can be unconscious for a while (a minute or two?) and not suffer brain damage. Therefore the cost of helping yourself is fairly low. It's not clear that the same dynamic applies to lockdowns.
Harsh point to make but at this point I hold what I consider to be a very justifiable grudge.
Instead some Governments went out and sacrificed everybody.
I didn't have Covid yet. At least as far as I know. I work in health IT and have been vaccinating and protecting myself according to the book. It works.
There’s far more to life and jobs than that.
As for how it’s inevitable - maybe it wasn’t, but look around you. An awful lot of destruction we did for questionable benefits.
And I know that with the next pandemic, far less people are going to listen. To them, the credibility of experts has been permanently damaged.
Also, we did try, it was called Payroll Protection and it was an epic fail.
Nobody is pretending that lockdown hurt people. This is a strawman.
