Not to minimise your experience, but in most countries the actions were not politicised as they were in the US, and were applied to a very much consenting populace. It was understood this was a temporary health emergency, and the primary goal was to save lives. In most places, most people, saw this as a fair trade-off - and least in the immediate term. One interesting analysis in years to come will be the effect of politisizing a health emergency as a party-political event, as distinct from there being broad political consensus to the action taken. |

My WW2 knowledge isn't deep but I seem to recall this being a big problem back then. But I guess it's all good now.
