    The large stores like Home Depot came through OK. Amazon boomed. Small businesses were devastated.
    Did you forget the school closures? We're starting to see the long-term effects that those had.
    Or the justice system slowing to a crawl because of trials getting delayed by COVID?
    And are you seriously arguing that nothing was affected AT ALL the past three years? FFS, your state had a gubernatorial recall election that gained traction almost entirely because of Gavin Newsom's draconian and tone deaf response to COVID.

    An unlicensed ophthalmologist. Tell me about all the research he’s done on infectious diseases.

    After he spent half a century studying infectious diseases, Fauci suddenly had “credibility issues”?


    You really think he knows more the guy who literally wrote the book on the subject?

    I don’t get what’s going on here.

    Just because the “lockdowns” may have been the right call at the time doesn’t mean they weren’t devastating to a lot of people.

    To shrug that off or get mad that someone mentions it simply because WE KNEW THAT ALREADY is a little weird.

    School closures and many attempts at “virtual learning” were an abomination for which we’ll be paying the price for years to come.

    Many local governments essentially mandated people’s livelihoods away.

    It’s fair to question whether the protection those measures offered were worth it for the benefits we saw. Especially now, when we know so much more about what we were dealing with. Of course that doesn’t mean we can go back and do it over again, but if we could, things would be done a lot differently.

    Mainly, the overall lack of empathy on all sides for people who were traumatized physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially will be the lasting legacy of all this.
