> We instituted draconian measures

You think the measures were OTT, too harsh and severe?

>is relatively harmless for the vast majority of people

Do you have a crystal ball that allows you to look into the future? Thousands are reporting long lasting, debilitating effects, long after initial infection. We are just scratching the surface of what could possibly be a much bigger issue as time goes on; the physical impairment of thousands resulting in many being unable to return to a fully active physical state for some time, if ever in some cases.

>Most people can see that this is unnecessary

You polled the entire populace and can say this for a fact?

>The only demographic Covid is particularly harmful to are the old and infirm

So, fuck them, is that what you're saying? Diabetics, the elderly, those with respiratory issues like asthmatics, people with CF, COPD, heart conditions.

>people are not stupid

Yes! Yes they are. Individuals are fairly intelligent. People, as a whole, are stupid, gullible, ignorant, easily led and moronic. Just look how much faith "people" put in the likes of Facebook. People are thick as fuck!

>most people you see are wearing masks where they are required to do so

Less than half the people I see out and about are wearing masks properly.

>a disease with a mortality rate only slightly higher than a bad flu.
