Frequent exposure to news about lockdowns and government restrictions can negatively influence one's mental state.

“every time I hear these stories and I go on twitter and I see the headlines I start to reminisce over my old life you know and I miss going to the theater I miss how fun my weekends with my friends used to be”

Zuby contends that there is no strong evidence showing lockdowns helped save lives when comparing data between different states and countries.

“Look, when it comes to lockdowns and mask mandates, and one could even argue vaccination rates to some extent, depending on which countries you're looking at, there is no solid strong evidence that lockdowns have helped to save lives.”
