[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the normie take which 80% of Americans not on DCUM, Twitter, Reddit, 8Chan, or Tumblr think:
1. The lockdowns were a good idea at the time and saved lives initially by flattening the curve, but they went on too long
[b]2. Masks probably were a good idea for a few months, but then became a social problem[/b]
3. Warp Speed was a great success that saved a lot of lives, and the vaccines are safe and effective
4. Shutting down schools after spring 2020 was a huge mistake and led to massive learning loss and social problems, which will plague a generation
5. Initially well intentioned and positive programs (eviction freezes, stimmy, giveaways to businesses) went on too long and were too large and caused the current inflation mess
6. There was an information crisis created from both sides (censorship from left and govt, misinformation and pseudoscience from right) that persists and is very bad for democracy

Given that both sides hate the above, it's probably mostly accurate.[/quote]
This one especially. Any potential benefits that were gained by mask mandates were greatly overshadowed by the alienation and polarization they created.[b] Outdoor mask mandates and masking kids[/b], for examples.

I think if mask mandates were limited to places like medical settings, where people went to get essential services, they wouldn't have been so controversial. But, having mandates in places where people went voluntarily, such as restaurants, really pissed off a lot of people. [/quote]

+1 requiring 2 year olds in daycare to mask for 8+ hours per day defies all logic (and was basically unique to the USA and a handful of Asian countries).  It was pretty evident from day one that forcing 2 year olds to wear a (often sopping wet from drool) mask (in between pulling it down to swap masks with classmates and shove shared toys in their mouth) does absolutely 0 at best to “stop the spread” and more likely exacerbated the germ flow. A bunch of current kindergarteners now have speech delays so that the adults responsible for them could demonstrate their political position.[/quote]

Day care workers died at one of the highest rates of all job categories [/quote]
