I know.
I just met somebody who lost three members of their family in America.
And then you meet somebody else and they're like, yep, I lost two friends.
We didn't have that experience here.
So it's hard to remember what didn't happen.
Yes.
Well, this is my life in public health.
People don't thank you for preventing them from dying seven years early because they quit smoking when they were 50 or, you know, they changed their lifestyle for some reason.
But it's in a way the pandemic, it's very tangible because we can measure and reflect on what the outcomes were.
Also, I think we remember the pain, don't we?
Pain somehow is that thing that drills into our psyche.
And the lockdowns did become less enjoyable.
That first lockdown, we were afraid.
It was also summer.
It was also novel.
If your unit was healthy, the pressure potentially just held or enhanced the health.
If you were in trouble as a unit, it was a different kind of a pressure.
But as the lockdowns went on, people's experience of them was more negative, I guess, or more strained.
And yet, you know, I mean, I hear Aucklanders just be so, so bemoaned the fact that we were locked down more than anyone else.
And yet I've just talked to somebody who their children didn't go to school for two years or their entire family was locked down for a year.
