I disagree.. Not everything is relative. There sre objective truths. The age at death from Covid exceeded the US life expectancy. It was not a threat to the young. We could have freed them while protecting the old and vulnerable. We did neither. “We” as in mostly progressive Democrat mayors and governors and their drooling acolytes.

I don't agree that the age at death from Covid exceeded US life expectancy. It is not just a threat to old people but also obese people. People were dying at many different ages.
I remember the following concern:
If the young can transmit it to older people and obese, then do we segregate the young from the old? How do we do that in households with children and close contact with older and obese people? How do we do that in educational settings where the teachers have to come in close contact with the children? Do we now have to keep older and obese people in special areas?
We did what we did based on the information we had at the time. As Prasad points out, a lot of it was flawed. We also had constant conflict with the government (this was under a Republican president back then and now under a Democrat president). We don't adapt and change to new information well. Instead we wait too long and point fingers at people who believed the now out-of-date information. We don't have accepted criteria on when to change.
At some point in the future, we won't need masks at all anywhere, and everyone agrees. What are the steps to get to that future point? How do we agree?
It doesn’t matter if you agree. About 899k ppl have died from Covid. Over 462k are over 75. US life expectancy is about 77 years. That’s pretty close. Do the math from the data. You can find it on Statista.
