I would imagine that some people might not appreciate the lockdown stuff, but I don't think it was pushing any kind of agenda - just acknowledging that there were some tragic side-effects of that whole situation.

Yeah. I didn't take it as pushing an agenda, just acknowledging the pain from the sacrifice. Doing the right thing just sometimes feels awful.

I somehow missed that Joy had a line that was a (very) thinly-veiled reference to the fact that she had to go through all of this while Boris Johnson and his lot were out partying.
