Oh yes, as we sit in our warm, safe home with plenty of food and clean water, I try to explain to my daughters that COVID restrictions really aren't that bad. I'd rather have another year of this than any of the years during WWII, for instance. Heck, I'd rather have a year of COVID than a year of 1918 flu pandemic. Possibly I'd rather have COVID than the high-probability threat of nuclear war, as in parts of the 1950s and 1960s (that's tougher to evaluate).
Needless to say, they listen and understand what I'm saying, but it doesn't really change their feelings.
