Totally understand, death is awful, and surely you can see that nobody is dismissing this as nothing. I think the thing is that people discuss restrictions as if they are cost free and the answer all the time, and the correct action in all circumstances to stop increased infection, almost with no though for the damage they cause and that perhaps that its even something to be considered at all. It disproportionately affects the young, it may not be immediately visible, but the impact of shutting down society will be felt drastically for years to come. For example with energy prices, whole Industries collapsing is seen by some as "just jobs, and not as important as stopping the spread" , but the impact of this is that peoples children have limited chances when they grow up and not be afforded the same life experiences as we had. Like it or not that has to be considered and taken seriously when making decisions on closing society, it has to be weighed up, it is not as binary as "let's just shut down for 3 months then start again". I feel as if people don't care one bit what the impacts of lockdowns or restrictions are, there's 2 sides to this, and for too long anything other than supporting restrictions has been seen as selfish, it isn't, not everyone who disagrees with restrictions is an anti vaxer who doesn't care about death, we just also happen to value other things that suffer because of them. I do care about others, I don't want to see anyone get hurt, I am over the moon with vaccines, happy to wear a mask, but I believe that we now have to put more value on peoples futures life chances and life quality than we have previously when making decisions about restrictions.
