On an The Irish Times article about the virus lockdown. Here is the first paragraph:
“Nobody enjoyed the restrictions of lockdown, nor felt at peace with the virulent disease that prompted it, but it is undeniable that some people – whether because of temperament, circumstance or both – found it easier to adapt to than others. Novelist Sarah Moss was firmly among those for whom it felt horribly imprisoning, to the point where it made her “trapped and panicky”, particularly during the period of lockdown in the UK when outdoor exercise was only permitted for an hour a day; she is someone for whom the outside – and her regular practice of cycling, running, climbing – is central to sustaining a sense of wellbeing, and even, perhaps, the imaginative and creative powers that she brings to storytelling.”
The journalist goes on to interview Moss through an article. I was personally hurt by the travel lockdown and other issues recently, so this interests me.
I think the main issue is whether authorities, whether governmental or medical, can over-react and do more damage than good. My own relatives say everyone is getting tired of hearing about this topic from me, but so what? Freedom of speech and truth.
