Now in some cases this is indeed decreasing and in my country now there is no mandatory rule to wear a mask if you want to leave the house and the restrictions are getting less and less which makes this quite good for now.
It is important to keep a balance because we need to keep the world going. I know that we all want to stay safe and healthy and the most important thing right now is to stay alive. For a while pandemic caused too many people to die, we had over 6 million people dead, and over 500 million who got it, which is around %6-7 of the entire planet so it was a big deal. At that level it was staying alive that we focused on. However, economy can't survive years and years of staying inside, it gets impacted and the thing we need right now is to get back, keep safe, and start economy back up again.
It's true, the losses from the effects of this pandemic are truly extraordinary. Basic needs in food and financial needs are currently being damaged and indeed, as you said, it's not only from an economic perspective that has been affected, even the lives of millions of people have been lost due to this virus. which makes this terrible.
But in this case life must go on and we who are still alive must be able to survive so that indeed we can make a reversal and come back to make life better
