I remember at the start of lockdown feeling absolutely devastated at the thought of all the children with abusive parents that were going to be trapped at home with them 24/7. No escape. I couldn't shake it from my mind for a long time.
No I don't think it was all worth it. Right at the start until they knew what they were dealing with, I agree they had to do something.
But soon enough once they knew really what it was, the measures were ridiculous. The Tier tomfoolery (could have a drink at a pub in Tier 3 as long as you were eating a scotch egg or something more substantial ); and then them telling us at the beginning that masks didn't work. To then turn around in the summer and say actually yes, they are mandatory.
The list goes on and on of red flags and ridiculousness. It all felt like a bad dream when you look back now.
On the flip side I personally didn't mind the actual lockdown as the weather was nice, I was working from home, would go for a run in my lunch, I quite enjoyed the slower pace of life. And the only thing I could've been accused of stockpiling was wine...
