I fully agree with that.
My son has really suffered - he's in his first year at one of the Unis that have handled Covid badly. He's never had mental health problems in the past, but is now a shadow of his former self. It's not the learning/teaching that's the problem (though he's had no face to face teaching at all as none of his lecturers are even on campus for over a year!). It's the Uni support staff - constant emails telling them what they can't do, heavy handed campus security staff throwing their weight around, etc. Him and his flat mates are now almost scared of their own shadows and are spending time in their rooms when they could be out doing other things because of fear of getting fined/punished for some minor transgression. Some of the campus security staff have even been hiding behind pillars in communal areas and jumping out to "apprehend" students who are going in/out through the wrong door or not adhering to one way systems. They've also been putting parking penalty notices on student cars who've parked in the empty staff car parks. It's like there's a war against students. He's just found out he's "passed" his first year with very good results, but it's 50:50 whether he'll go back in September as he just can't face it again as the entire atmosphere/environment is toxic anti-student.
My OH has also suffered badly due to cancer. 3 years ago, had successful chemo treatment, everything went as planned, easy access for support, advice, etc when there were side effects, all appointments planned and executed well. At the start of 2020 it came back and chemo started again in March. Then abruptly halted with a curt phone call. Then absolute radio silence for 3 months. Called the dept many times to ask for progress, dates for restart of chemo, etc - mostly nothing but an answerphone, but occasionally got to speak to a receptionist/administrator who promised a phone back. No phone backs ever made. We even went to the oncology dept in person, on a normal "work day" to find it closed with the shutters down. Eventually, we got an appointment with consultant in July, but since then it's been one delay after another. Even routine blood tests are a pain to organise as the GP surgery now refuse to do them, and the oncology dept have moved to a different hospital across the county border. We're at the mercy of "roving" plebotomists who go around to different medical centres to take blood samples - the staff are very unreliable and half the time we've had them cancelled on the morning of the test, with re-arranged appointments up to a month later. Then other tests have been a nightmare too, such as MRI scans, x-rays, etc - nothing is easy anymore and it's a constant battle to get appointments for tests, which are then often cancelled last minute and you're back in the long queue for a new appointment. Anyway, finally started the chemo again in February this year (a delay of 11 months to get started again). The chemo has been a nightmare - again, constant cancellations, no one to contact re side effects - it's been stop-start all the way this time, no consistency, not a single month when the full chemo treatment has been given. Even the consultant fails to call on the pre-arranged telephone review consultations and then it's another month to schedule another call.
So yes, it really is time that everything else was brought back to normal. And yes, I do appreciate that there'll be some unfortunates who carry on catching covid, some suffering long covid and some sadly dying, but I think at the moment, far more people are being harmed by the covid restrictions than are being saved.
