      That was such an obvious move. I naively, as usual, thought they would do a strict, 1-month lockdown, paying people to stay at home, and kick the thing right away, so we could get back to normal. I think a lot of people sort of thought thats what what was happening when we did the big lockdown in April. Then a month later, people were like "OK, we did the 1 month, back to normal now?" But half the population wasn't locking down. The government made no effort to help people stay at home without work, rent, mortgages, etc. Of course, our leadership was actively undermining efforts to deal with the pandemic. So I knew it was going to get bad.
