Please tell me where are all these deaths in Sweden, Belarus, Brazil, Florida...

So you're telling me that in places like Brazil more people are being traumatized by deaths in overloaded hospitals compared to Westerners (who are less traumatized) thanks to a year of isolation? uhmm

Ask yourself, what's the bigger trauma for you. Your partner dies of COVID-19, you can't see your parents for a year.

COVID is not a death sentence for the majority of people that get it.

Lockdowns cause suffering even if they're not a death sentence.

That's a non question, as if you could have prevented the majority of people from dying of it, lockdowns were about "flattening the curve" they weren't even saving the majority of lives (maybe some) at an incommensurable social cost.
