That's the point, lockdown was imposed in order to prepare for the next wave of the pandemic, however, this didn't really happen in Greece. Summer passed without taking and precautions to face the next wave that we'd have to come across during winter. On the meantime, emergency funding was given to the church, TV channels and other corporations such as Aegean Airlines.

LOL.. I can understand emergency funding being given to airlines (the aviation sector is in pretty bad shape right now). I don't think that providing funding to TV channels is necessary, but even that is OK to an extent. But what is the point in providing funding to churches at this point, when a lot of people are out of work? That money could have been used for providing food and essential items to those who need them. Religion was created to help the humans, and not to create additional burden for them.

I could also justify Airline emergency funding to an extent, providing that other sectors were funded too. There hasn't been any actual funding in order to support the National Healthcare system, only a few ICU beds were added at most since the previous lockdown on March 2020.

The past lockdown was supposed to be a lesson to gear up for what would come during the winter months, while no proper action was taken, we were idle the whole summer, and we're currently going through the worst phase of the pandemic.
