I gave our political leaders a pass back in March because there was very little knowledge about this virus, and how to handle things in the short and long term. Even back then though, I remember telling friends and family, that it was my opinion lockdowns were not the answer and it could wreck the economy. Nostradamus I am not, but just common sense. As the weeks and months went by, the lockdown mandates very clearly became a political move. It is a shame that at times our lives are being effected negatively because of lobbyists and political power. I doubt that is what the founding fathers had in mind.
