You attempted to move the goalposts. You talk about the early 2020s as if everything that went on was normal and acceptable, and not contradictory at all.

Real quackery is allowing people to go to the supermarket all the time, but disallowing them to exercise in the park. Or telling people not to talk to their neighbours over the fence but allowing international flights to continue.

I remember walking on a local government run public golf course once so that I could exercise well away from people, only to have someone come within two metres of me telling me I was endangering them. Yet my local supermarket had dozens of people wandering around inside it. I'm told those kind of contradictions were normal.

You know fine well that many places encouraged their citizens to download apps onto their phones for QR codes or tracking their location. That was publicly advertised in many of them by TV.
