I do not see that adults are being micromanaged by my government. I see my government doing thier best to reduce deaths and keep the hospitals from being overwhlemed. Unfortunately their best is not good enough for the thousands who have died in my city and they do need to do more if they hope to prevent further deaths.
Did it fund studies about whether it makes sense for the average person to use their hands when to readjust masks when it seems it doesn’t fit or did it just tell them not to touch their masks when they have them on?
Did it fund studies on all the drugs that the top Coronaexperts find promising? Did it generally give top Coronaexperts from before the pandemic a lot of say in the government response or did it prefer career burocrats to have the power?
Did it pay a price for vaccines that’s corresponding to the value of the vaccine per dose if the dose gets delievered early to encourage fast vaccine production?
Did it tell people from the beginning to ventilate and meet outside instead of meeting people inside?
Did it forbid people from vaccinating with established technology before phase 3 trials ended? Did it immediately approve the vaccines.
Did it fund studies of Taffix to see whether giving it to people to reduce spread of COVID-19 make sense?
Did it science-based recommendations about gloves (gloves increase risk of spreading COVID-19 in many situations) or just recommended people to wear them?
Did it provide incentives for people to install an app for contact tracking?
Did it encourage people to install air filters? How much money did it spend to encourage the production of air filters and people installing them?
Did it recommend that people don’t press buttons like elevator buttons with their hands and instead with other objects with little surface?
Did it let all people who died from Corona get autopsies like you would have done 40 years ago to understand as much as possible about how COVID-19 kills people (Germany for example didn’t do that)?
Did it fund controlled trials to understand long COVID risks (or fund a vaccine trial to also look at long COVID)?
Does it have social distancing policies that incentivise people to meet outside or inside (if the rules are the same for both and it’s easier to avoid detection of rule breaking if you are inside you incentivise that people meet inside)?
Did the government at any point say that masks don’t work for non-medical personal?
Did it stock enough masks before 2000?
Did it pay a price for masks afterwards that was corresponding to the value provided by masks to aquire them as fast as possible and scale up production?
Does the government fund free fit testing say that people can easily learn how to wear their mask correctly?
Did it fund apps to help people diagnose whether they have COVID-19?
Did it provide people easy way to isolate in a hotel to not infect people they are living with or did they simply outlaw hotels from renting out rooms?
