Exactly. Many Americans I saw used the time as a long, subsidized vacation, going out to eat more than ever, even going to the beach because they could “work” remotely. In the UK, they were basically under house arrest.
I worked a manufacturing job for government contractor. We wenton overtime for the year 2020 and most of 2021. I than retired in December of 2021. The company mandated vaxx for all. I said buh bye.
