>Democrats insisted on COVID restrictions that were more like religion than science and then they just stopped and everyone was fine.

You... You missed out on the whole vaccines part here. Amazing.

>What would have changed if the restrictions were 6 or 12 months shorter?

Everyone would get hit with COVID before vaccines became available.

The healthcare systems were on the verge of collapse as it was; this would ensure the collapse and mass deaths (and long term disabilities for many others).

>Nothing

The confidence with which you're saying nonsense based on absolutely nothing is admirable, but the bullshit you're spouting isn't.

Next time, don't ask questions if your answer is premade.
