@spruce112358 said2021? None. I happen to be lucky enough to live in an area where most people lived their lives as normal in 2021. I also got my shots in February of that year and starting 14 days after the second shot, I dropped the mask (except where required) and lived my life as normal. My family also, more or less, lived normal lives in 2021.
Of course, but then you have to start talking about QALYs (quality-adjusted life years).
How much would you say your QoL was reduced in 2021 let's say, compared to the average year? Due to COVID, and then due to COVID + the government response.
__________Normal Year______COVID____ COVID+ Gov Response
sh76 QoL _____1______________?______________?
Unfortunately, many people weren't as lucky as I was.
2020 is a more complex question. I only really judge covid reactions after about May or June, as until then, we were all just running around like chickens with our heads cut off and nobody really knew what to do.
I am convinced that part of the reason for the summer of fire that year was the fact that people were both traumatized and bored.
