While I can't say I am that surprised about that happening in Singapore, a country that already had a reputation of placing order above everything, I am surprised at how easily fundamental freedoms have been taken away in more democratic countries like in Western Europe. We reassure ourselves that those measures are temporary, but people have come to see a lot of those as now being part of life, turning their anger instead at those who question the effectiveness and lawful nature of those measures.
I am afraid that as this virus will stay, even if becoming far less threatening thanks to vaccines, society will keep seeing those measures as necessary to 'keep numbers low' and that we'll never really go back to the way things were before
