No we are talking about the impact of the lockdown and other Covid related issues on young people.
The lockdown(s) happened. That's by the by. Most supported them on balance, including me, certainly for the first one.
But we are now talking about 2023. Not the merits of the lockdown of which there are no doubt many. The thread is (or was supposed to be) about one of the negatives of it.
Most things produce good and bad results. Even if the overall policy was good, it doesn't mean you can't talk about how to fix some of the bad outcomes.
