> A pandemic of toxic individualism
Given the social constraints that the various lockdown measures imposed on us, I would argue that you are correct, but not for the reason you think. The response to the pandemic has, in a toxic and damaging way, turned us into atomised and isolated individuals.
Those demanding freedoms back, are actually requesting that we return to an integrated, social society.
