   I'm a little bewildered by the people working to reignite the covid hysteria three years into the crisis. I'm not even strictly talking about people who are still concerned about getting infected, but rather those who are eager to reinstate lockdowns and other disastrous policies.
   
   In some regions the 2020 pandemic response should have gone down as the worst state imposed public health disaster in history. It's important to keep in mind that not everywhere had the same policies, restrictions and measures. There are places that had vastly different impacts from each other and aren't always an "apples to apples" comparison.
   
   That said, I can't respect anyone holding up China's extreme assault on their own population, and similar policies as an ideal example. If you are concerned about covid, and want to see concerted action to save lives, I would highly recommend understanding the social determinants of health. Understand that despite much of 2020 may have seemed like "taking it seriously", even with textbook public health understanding, it appears to be knee-jerk and ill-advised.
   
   Food for thought
