“Come to think of it, what valid rationale was there to ease restrictions? Because people got tired of them?”
No, there were actual reasons but everyone is so sure that their comfort level is the right one that they consider everyone else either lax or machmir (sounds familiar, no?)
I thank yoy for your respectful tone and i have a question that i mean respectfully as well.
Way back in the beginning the plan was to have lockdown to flatten the curve and hopefully postpone much of the illness until there was more understanding and treatment. The reacurrance were expected and part of the plan. It never occurred to me it would be otherwise as it was said clearly in early spring. Do you think people forgot this, didn’t hear it originally, or do we humans just tend to fall into a pattern of blame and divisiveness whenever Hashem is wishing we would unite and look His way? I think the latter but im curious what you think.
