It was ignored or not considered that not only the corona-related mortality rate, but also long-term consequences and the suicide (attempt) rate, which is excessive in many places, especially among young (and healthy) people (including, by the way, older people) should be taken into account.
Physically alive, mentally damaged, emotionally buried, quite a few drift into an uncertain future.
It also seems to be overlooked by some political decision-makers that post-Covid-Syndrome wholly or partially incapacitated and incapacitated for work are certainly not “cured” just because their PCR test was negative.
