Have people's opinions changed?

[MassiveOverthinker]

Just wondering really, if the last few months have changed people's opinion on how we managed covid in this country.

Anyone wondering if maybe fewer restrictions would've been better and if more draconian ones (often called for) were unnecessary. Anyone wondering if we needed to close schools, swab and isolate our kids, test and trace etc etc.

Or do people generally feel we did what was necessary at the time and are only okayish now because of weaker variants and higher vaccination levels?

Anyone feel less angry at the rule breakers, those who don't want to be vaccinated etc?

If it all happened again, do you think your response to restrictions would be the same, or would you be a bit more inclined to think "sod that for a laugh".

Which parts of Europe or the USA?

@RadioRouge the US has 1 million deaths to roughly 300 million. 5 times more than the UK with 5 times the population (rough estimate).

California and Texas may be good to compare - similar populations and actually at 90k ish each deaths and very different political landscapes.

Worldometer you can sort the Europe - and as I said the UK is 20th

Plus obesity is very rare and they have a healthy diet.

Japan didn't do testing 'well'. They barely tested at all in fact. They didn't lockdown. And they had reasonably high numbers of covid infections.

Their FR was very low however and that's surprising given the age of their population. I expect general health played a huge part in that and I really wonder if the high amounts of omega 3 in the diet had an impact (it's anti-inflammatory). They may also have been good at keeping covid from the older population, but that's just speculation, I don't know how.
