I think most give neither the time nor the inclination to give anything depth of consideration.

Smart phone time over books, easy soundbites, zero sum fallacious arguments bellowed endlessly down pubs and across social media.

You can still find thoughtful people, thinkers, writers; but you have to search increasingly hard...
Green Man I agree Wyot, many people committed suicide during the lockdowns. Many men and women were in fear of being locked in by their abusive partners day in and day out.

If the kids saw any violence they would probably pick up on it later in life and take it as normal behaviour.

JK2006 Yes the sheer stupidity of politicians and experts believing the media confounded me at the time and it gets worse. But media believing itself is incomprehensible. As is reasonably intelligent people failing to see beyond the headlines. But we have neither the time nor the inclination to give everything depth of consideration.
Wyot And so it goes on. A steep rise in alcohol deaths since 2020.

No cost benefit analysis of locking down was even attempted at the time, just a media driven political response.

Is anyone joining the dots now so we can learn for the future? Like hell they are.

Let's remember this year the numberless lockdown dead who have so pointlessly lost their lives.

May they rest in peace.
