CV and mad panic behaviour

[Lods]

Of course it was Lods, it was uncharted territory.
Remember when they didn’t know how much transmission occurred through surface contact ?
Once they figured it out they changed the advice, trouble is the great uneducated and unwashed expect unchanging advice and when it does change they think it’s a “gotcha moment” ?

No doubt,
But it was presented and controlled in such a way that to question the methods employed at any level was met with ridicule and vilification.
It was very black and white.
That wasn't helpful...it created divisions between friends and families.

Now I was quite happy with the approach...I felt it kept us safe.
It probably had a dramatic effect on the mortality rate.
But along the way there was no doubt a bit of wrong information and method employed in terms of restrictions as we moved through various stages of the pandemic.
A lot of the issues were to do with timing...when to shut things down, when to open up etc.

The result is that when (not if) the next pandemic comes along many more folks will be very hesitsant to undertake or go along with the same drastic methods employed during the worst covid years.

It's not something we can do much about, it's just how it will play out.
