There was like the initial 6 weeks to stop the spread.
I still went to the grocery store, not locked down, i still went to the park, not locked down.
What lockdowns? please be specific.
When people say lockdown, they mean:
"I was forced to wear a mask when i went to the grocery store and i felt like a loser"
Thats the whole issue.
Call it what you like. You're arguing semantics when you say it wasn't a lock-down, but whatever you call it, it harmed people socially and psychologically. Humans aren't meant to be socially isolated.
The differences were highly variable. I have family in rural areas whose lives changed not one iota unless they had to travel for business to more urban areas. I have more urban people in my circle who were locked into their residence almost all the time, working and school from home. And then, there are the grocery store, food delivery, and health workers, who were working until they dropped, short staffed, in a sea of anxiety, many getting Covid multiple times.
There was no single experience of lockdown status even within just the USA, let alone across countries.
Plenty of it I'm sure, but why does that matter? Local policies effected my life even if they weren't federal policies.
Well guys, we weren't physically barred in our homes and starved so we weren't locked down. Brilliant.
Looking back at this thread it seems every post disagreeing with the ridiculous statement that there were no lockdowns has been downvoted. Amazing.
