My mom died 20 months ago at age 97. My dad had passed on at age 79 two decades before mom. Talked to mom every week and visited her as often as possible some 900 miles away. While she was very frail toward the end I think the enforced isolation due to COVID is what did her in. No visitors. She was so lonely.
I'm very sorry for your loss. The unnecessary disruption and lockdowns hurt more than helped society, as I hope I conveyed in my post. They took so much from us for no reason and now expect all to be forgotten and forgiven. Not happening. Too many lost irreplicable time, moments, and other parts of life that cannot be given back. And for what? More power? Senseless.
Difficult, to be sure; although on the other hand, COVID robbed our family of my 65-year-old mother-in-law, whose time with us might certainly have been longer had we been better able to shield her from infection. She died four weeks before a vaccine was available.
I am very sorry for the loss in your family. Yes, Covid took loved ones and friends. That isn't deniable. The virus is real. I've had it, my family has had it, and it was not fun. A few days of flu symptoms for most, but deadly for others. Taking precautions to avoid catching it were not irrational, nor unwarranted.
The lies I am referring to is the media/gov't methods used to create the atmosphere of dread and horror in the nation-as if this virus had a mortality rate of some level 4 pathogens (Ebola, Marburg virus, Lassa fever, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, and many other hemorrhagic viruses found in the tropics.) Then more lies about lockdown measures, business restrictions (not for big corporations, of course) and the hypocrisies on display by public figures constantly in the news. All of that greatly contributed to my Mother's mental decline at an accelerated pace. That was the purpose of my post.

My partner misses his mother too. She died of Covid in Dec of 2020 just before she could get vaxxed. Her death sure doesn’t seem like a charade.
