I feel the same way. I had no problem with being careful in February and March, but when April rolled around, it was clear to me the virus was understood pretty well.
Perhaps not enough to develop a vaccine, but clinically, how it spread and how it affected people.
In early April, it did dawn on me that this whole reaction was, if not totally contrived, unnecessarily overblown.
Since then, I have absolutely discarded the “unnecessarily overblown”. It was a malignant, active intervention at many governmental levels up to the Presidency.
When Trump began calling for things to open up and was uniformly attacked, that was when I knew.
Yep. I was railing against the lockdown strategy in April because the risks of the virus were pretty much based on your age and health condition.
It’s a real thing. I lost a couple of friends to it and was (and remain) worried about my parents and in-laws. However, the one size fits all approach was a complete failure.
There is no data that I have seen (and I have looked) that justifies the draconian lockdown approach.
