This is what both politicians and many medical experts fail to see with these draconian measures. So in this year alone, we've seen major cities around the world that went from being full of life turned into ghost towns because of the strict lockdowns and the harsh penalties for breaking these measures that are set up by a government in question.
So just to give you an idea how much damage both the pandemic and the lockdowns have both caused. In the UK, the city of London is now beginning to resemble Detroit and many businesses are going belly up and even closing down permanently because less people are shopping now. Then there's also Australia where cities such as Melbourne went from being a busy and vibrant city to now resembling a scene in a zombie apocalypse movie where the streets are empty and less people are shopping now and sure they may have lifted the lockdowns but the damage is already done. This grim sight that I'm describing here is also being seen in many parts of the developed world now.
Then there is also the aftermath when this is over. By the time that this pandemic is finally over, the economic damage will be so deep that the world will also then plunge into another 'Great Depression' because the dumbfucks that control these governments did more damage than the virus itself.
Now sure, some countries may manage to stamp out the virus (the media are praising Australia and New Zealand for this) but so long that in one part of the world remains being a petri dish that can also contaminate the rest of the world (as of now the United States, Europe, and South America are where the hot zones are at) then the virus will then continue rampaging around the world until it finally spreads out too thin and it begins to run out of people to infect. The UK 'stamped out' the virus before only for it to come back with a vengeance later on.
So the way I see it, at this rate even when the pandemic is finally over things will continue to get worse before they get better and the only good thing that will come from this is when people become angry and finally wake up and realize that their leaders don't really care for them and finally stand up to the shitheads in power when they have no job anymore and the roof over their heads is also gone. When you give a population with nothing left to lose then what happens next is the guillotines start showing up at the front doors of their incompetent leaders later on.
