Before we embark on the same course of action in a future similar situation (and there are still, almost unbelievably, folks out there who think we should all be locked down and wearing masks right now!), maybe we should study the Swedish model (er, no, not that one!) which avoided many of the worst of the lockdown privations by allowing common sense to prevail instead of using the full-on authoritarian banning of almost all public daily life?
