    That was not everybody's reality. I live in Brasil and we barely had a lockdown. People were forced to go to work terrified of covid and fearing starving to death, simultaneously. It was not until May, when a celebrity died from covid after struggling horribly for 2 months that our lame government decided to start vaccinating people. A huge part of the population is now unemployed and facing homelessness. So yeah... If the pandemics were simply about "staying home" for you, consider yourself very lucky.

    Everyone's understandind of the situation is relative to their own subjective experience. It is unfair to make comparisons bewtween the past and the present without taking into account all the different variables (which is practically impossible).
    It's like electricity going out and you saying "You think that's bad!?! Ackchually humans lived without electricity for thousands of yeears!". Of course that's a ridiculous statement because humans in the past were not nearly as dependent on electricity as we are now, and even though it may not have been important to them, to us no electricity for just a month could mean the dissolution of the world as we know it.
    So please don't make ignorant comparisons between the present and the past as if things were indeed that simple.

      @@Adrian-kb4rg Obviously your missing my point but I'll go ahead break it down for you.
      Politicians that hate Trump mistakenly believed that shutting down the economy will stop the virus from spreading. Clearly that didn't work. So they were convinced along with the mainstream media that this was the perfect opportunity to exploit the pandemic and brainwash their voters into thinking that Trump was some kind of boogy man and he was responsible for the China virus along with all of the problems that came with it. Ultimately the voters fell for it and now Biden is in charge. However things are now in chaos mode under his administration. Numerous of recent polls show that Biden's approval rating is worse than Trump's first year in office due to rising inflation, out of control government spending causing the value of the U.S. dollar to fall dramatically as it affects other countries as well. Food & supply shortages, failure to restore American jobs and a failing economy. Shutting down the Keystone Pipeline causing rising gas prices and becoming dependent on other countries for other natural resources as well. The mishandling exit out of Afghanistan, out of control southern border, sky rocketing nationwide crime waves, unconstitutional vaccine mandates (which are currently being protested across the country) and these are just to name a few things that are just getting started. Unfortunately this list will continue to grow if he proceeds with even more bad policies. Along with his incoherent behavior and the refusal to answer press conferences he will continue to divide this country instead uniting it as he promised he would. Now this country is almost unrecognizable.
      It's no surprise how Biden supposedly became the most popular U.S. president to the worst in less than a year. Unimaginable that he's even worse than Carter! That's gotta be a record for sure. Of course now a lot of Biden voters are having voters remorse but hey, at least there's no more of Trump's mean tweets right?

      it is definitely a known hypothesis. This is also a theory for other land animals like rabbits. Every couple of years, a large percentage of rabbits receive new diseases that will wipe most of them out. This is a way for nature to regulate the quantity of rabbits kept alive. In order for a few rabbits to survive, most(with bad genetics) will get killed in order to preserve the best genetics for further reproduction. Plus less rabbits means less competition to find food for the remaining rabitts that survived. So, in this case, rabbits inherit better genetics for survival and have better chances of not going extinct. This is all due to nature sending in infectious waves that strikes most of them and kills the weakest(immune system). It is like a collaboration between pathogens and rabbits. Cause these pathogens won't be able to survive Earth without a rabbit host, and the rabbit won't be able to find enough food, water, shelter, and good immune system without the pathogen wiping most of their overpopulated communities.

      You are wrong Pallavi p listen dude I respect you even though I don't know who the heck you are but listen your country India may be kind now and I hope it will be forever but it wasn't before you Indians did a lot of harm to my country Pakistan first you start an unannounced war at 3am on September 4 1965 making many Pakistani soldiers famous for dying for Pakistan then again you Indians start the 1971 war and then again the 1999 Kargil war so I can say that since our independence year 1947 you Indians have done a lot of things to Pakistan you stopped water supplies from rivers to Pakistan in the 1970s you Indians did everything possible to try to erase Pakistan from existence and you have succeeded Pakistan is very corrupt thanks to you all Indians Pakistan's economy isn't working properly again that's all on you Indians for illegally donating drugs to Pakistan and because of that the young generation isn't working properly which leads to the improper development of our economy and lastly you Indians won't free the remaining Kashmir which rightfully belongs to us Pakistanis no matter how much we politely ask you Indians every year you don't listen how will you Indians repay Pakistan for all that?

    2020 didnt feel to bad. I got furloughed and stayed in quarantine. I stepped foot out of my apartment once a week to take out the trash. Which meant I spent less than a half-hour for a whole month. It was wonderful. I got to play games, watch anime, play with my cats, buy new music gear, and know that i had a job to go back to. Rent was covered from the month before, so it was just fantastic. I knew it was a good time then, and lived it to the fullest.

      Exactly like I understand your struggle when ppl nowadays complain about taxes and such and obviously if I could be richer it would be cool. However I cannot seriosly complain when my grand-grand and grandparents lived in second world war, died in death camp, where inprisoned etc. Then my parents lived during communism, apart from the fact you could buy limited ranch of zssr products, being against the system they were living in the risk. Now is harder to own property, but back then couple ppl lived in one room and my grandfarher had only one pair of shoes, could attend only few class in school etc. It is incomparable.

    Though reminding ourselves of the horrific times in the past might console us to get through this pandemic, you can't deny that the definition of 'catastrophic' is different for everyone. The inequalities are huge. The rosy picture you showed is probably in developed nations. People have lost jobs, lives, dignity, even democracies. Each time period has its own set of limitations and challenges, ours is different.

      Thats because if we're forced to do something, yeah we're not gonna like it. Its like when schools force you to read a book when you don't want to. Like, some people may not like books and maybe want to draw or something. A lot of people are too narcissistic and stupid to realize that if you force something on someone, it takes away the joy from them. A lot of adults won't let kids experience things on their own and think "Oh well it's for their own good, they'll learn to like it". Then they wonder why we hate older generations lmao.

During the younger dryas event there was estimated less than 5 million people on the planet, all very self sufficient, independent, able to feed themselves and their families, build shelter etc etc? Humans survived. Could we still do that if it happened tomorrow?
