@rocketman: you lost the argument when you decided to ignore facts
Who's ignoring the facts, you and DD have ignored the facts toward public viral transmission because of one or two virologist's comments over hundreds world wide .
Again social restrictions and mask wearing for the public reduces the virus transmission which in the end lower cases coming to hospitals and less people dying.
Perhaps pulling your head out of your ass might help you see things a little better.
The government officials are aware of the problems imposing these restrictions have caused from a social psychological perspective and financially as well but they consider the option of letting people getting severely sick and perhaps dying a worse outcome.
Irregardless vaccinations are being widely distributed and governments will be lifting these restrictions very soon.
The virus pandemic of 2020 is almost over ...... good
