and deadly.

Errors were made, mostly government erred on the side of caution. That was the prudent thing to do.

But then people in charge realize they could increase their own power and their own wealth by imposing crippling requirements and mandates on businesses and individuals.

Power increased, money rolled in.

An election for president, senators and congressman was tipped mostly in the favor of incumbents in power. Lies were told in the name of science intended to increase wealth and power. Truth tellers were canceled or worse.

I'm not sure where the line of demarcation was that distinguishes well intended efforts with mistakes… And corruption for the sake of greed and power.

I think it was somewhere around January, 2021.
