The response to COVID by many governments would have made a good script for the Twilight Zone some years ago. Where I live, we were subject to the world's longest lock down, regaled daily by our so-called leader about the critical importance of having zero COVID cases, with anything above that portrayed as disastrous, akin to the mass hysteria mentioned by EMS. Move forward to the present and our media rarely mention COVID or the weekly death tolls of 80+. Rather a contrast!
