It is wiser to let good sense prevail, to look at upcoming restrictions, curbs or lockdowns through the right prism — that of safety. Lives are top priority now, not just of the afflicted, but every COVID frontline warrior and their relatives who suffer from tremendous anxiety with their loved ones in facilities.
