Nothing forces you to be a consumer of social media, low-grade TV or mail-order rubbish. Take responsibility for your own actions.

I did not. I have a young child, and refused to follow the herd and just sit everyone in front of a tablet or Netflix. It made my life incredibly hard and lonely - have you tried occupying a 1-year-old for a year, when you are under effective house arrest?

However, I am not talking about my personal choices, or who needs to take responsibility for actions. I am just pointing out that certain people have benefited enormously from lockdowns.
