Where did you stand on the lockdowns?

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

I think this framing is way too simplistic, given the semantic confusion that is generated when one hears the word "lockdown". In broad terms, I was opposed to restricting people from congregating outside or in private households throughout the pandemic, somewhat supportive of restricting indoor dining or bars, somewhat opposed to restricting church attendance and very opposed to closing schools. In all cases, I supported minimizing the duration of these restrictions as much as possible.

I am far more supportive of NPIs in wealthy countries than in poor countries. In all cases, I support prohibiting truly mass gatherings. Idk, this issue does not really lend itself to simplicity? Overall though, I have been something of a lockdown skeptic...
