In my country we did that for three months and now we have 100 infections per day and everyone's life has returned to 90% normal.

Which was literally my point. If you on occassion listen to experts and officials and do what they say then you don't need to tell yourself stories about your brave ancestors and their battles in the normandy, you simply solve problems, and then life goes back to normal, without deaths and with the freedoms you had before.
