But, I agree with your statement, with the condition that having recovered from one variant of COVID does not necessarily give you immunity to any other - the same is true with Vaccines.
The targeted shutdowns were unnecessary and did more harm than good. Grocery store clerks could go to work but salons were shut down for whatever reason. You could get a fast food burger but there for awhile you couldn't get your eyes checked at the optometrist which never made much sense to me. It would have been better if people had been allowed to mitigate their own risks as they do with any other virus.
