I wouldn't go so far.

I see it more as "freedom even at the expense of lives". The west for the first time in a long time, is being asked what the value of a life is.

Is freedom to roam during a pandemic, worth the aggregated loss of life it causes ?

The question has been lingering around with ecological damage done by our lifestyles and the anti-intellectualism/ anti-vax movement, which is allowed free reign in many places. But, Covid has brought it into focus.

I have heard enough about India super-power 2040, to know that anyone who claims to know what the future holds is either lying, under informed, has an agenda or all 3.
