Alaska had very limited lockdown for only 2 months. I also imagine you have a fairly large house, with huge garden.

It is not "revisionist history nonsense". Lockdowns were pretty brutal, lasted almost 18 months total, and several people committed suicide over it.

> I remember this, I was there

You were not there! You were at Alaska!

Like celebrities claiming "we are in this together" from their mansions!

Obviusly you and your family were not affected by lockdown so badly, congrats. Not everyone was so lucky though.

> Staying at home with Grandma and Papa

Lockdown prevented relatives visits.

> Pandemic was pretty traumatic here in the US, at least a million people died last time I looked at it.

Millions die every year, that is normal for a country with 350 million people!

> You know what my kids don't have? My kids don't have a smart phone. You know what my kids don't have? Unlimited access to devices.

My kid did not had device before pandemic, we got tablet for lockdowns. My kid was social and full of energy, it always wanted to play outside and climb trees. Two years of isolation, in tiny apartment were pretty bad!

Now it does not want to go outside, it does not want to socialize! It adapted and got new hobies.

> Largely, I think it is the parents though

Yes, i blame myself. For not ignoring lockdowns and not fighting back! Against sociopaths who enforced this bs!

> in the US, public health messaging stated the opposite, in order to keep as many masks in supply to healthcare workers despite a major shortage of masks

So experts also lied about masks!!!

So many people died because of those lies!!!!

They spread misinformations!!!

For most folks here basic smartphone with tiktok is cocaine. No basic discipline and self-control. Plus they believe everything "expert ai" tells them, no critical thinking, independent verification...

Like toddlers!

The math can be booth commodity and enjoyment.

My day job is to cleanup mess left over by "experts". They may have very deep understanding, but code they leave behind is full of bugs and security holes.

> mRNA vaccines were created by humans who understood them

If authors understood them, why most of their predictions were wrong? Time to decompose spike proteins, side effects, distribution through brrast milk....

Event the most basic promise 100% protection against infection was wrong! They lied and we allowed infected people into hospitals!
