I correct the word "lockdown" in reference to Covid everytime I hear it.

And Monday morning QBing is another thing people don't seem to get. In 2020 when Covid hit, we knew very little about it, for all the authorities knew it was going to kill half the country. As we learned more about it, we tailored rules around it. the more we learned, the more those rules evolved. And as conditioned changed, we were able to get back to normal. But none of that means we were wrong to institute severe restrictions at the start.

We had to stop the spread as best we knew how at the time, so limiting person to person contact was the only way, even for children.

All these restrictions were the corrext thing to do, even f Covid would have turned out to be much less harmless than it was, those restrictions in the first year were correct.
