From the start of the first lockdowns (March 2020), till today (2022), there has yet to be any discussion on data or metrics listed below with any government.  Instead, each official (usually the Health Officer) makes statements with false models (proven false time and again each time what they predict does not happen), issues decrees (lockdowns or masks), and show zero real data, all while not allowing any counter evidence or questioning.  In a normal democracy, debate, questioning, data, and discussion is paramount and normal.  Almost all governments resorted to whichever loophole they had at their disposal to bypass rules against the suspension of rights and civil liberties.  They easiest form of this was to simply declare a ‘state of emergency’ without evidence and plow their mandates through.  In most countries/States/Provinces, there were already continuous states of emergency due to wildfires or other issues.  This allows for running government ‘by decree’, no oversight or parliamentary oversight.  The state of emergency for C19 has lasted going on 2 years now.  ‘If the government can violate rights during an emergency, they’ll invent an emergency to violate your rights’.  Specifically in the U.K. on more than one occasion, the government modelling (presented by their SAGE group), would be off by a factor of 10, they would implement masking or lockdown measures to ‘prevent’ this disaster outcome, then the following days, external scientists would analyze the models, conclusively point out errors and input mistakes that would result in the model by being off by factors of 10 to 20 (C19 deaths/cases), and the government would simply respond ‘we’re going ahead with lockdowns anyway’.
