Agreed. I definitely take the government less seriously now. And I was a socialist before this happened. But there must be a balance. Especially the first lockdown when we needed a piece of paper with a reason to go out.
I know some measures were needed but the heavy-handedness was crazy and in some ways still is. If it had been ebola on the loose I would have understood. Especially now that most of us are vaccinated (yes me too).
It made me do more risky things like get a tattoo which I've always kinda wanted, and not really care about seatbelts anymore. For me the reason is mainly that I don't care as much for the quality of life that's left now with masks and QR codes and constant vigilance so I don't really care as much if I'd die in a car crash.
But I'm not sure if that reasoning applies to everyone. But I think it's also that we can't care about so many things all the time. They added a huge load of new things to worry about and I think it's natural that others will suffer. Like road safety and the environment.
