@shane, I found this and I think this will answer your question. Is the cure worse than the disease?
Yes, interesting. Jed also linked to a NYT's article where...9 months into the pandemic, the media is suddenly taking notice that the cure may actually be worse than the disease. Where have they been? They are not dumb, and certainly knew all along there would be severe consequences to the lock-downs at home, that would then spill over into the underdeveloped countries, yet stayed relatively silent about it until recently.
So why wait until now to take notice? We all know the answer to that -politics. The same dirty politics that have plagued this pandemic. The same politics insisting there must be a lengthy RCT before using, and promoting well known, safe drugs that *seem* to be working and offer a ray of hope. The same being used by social media as an excuse to censor medical, and policy opinions at odds with the WHO, and national health bureaucracies.
And while two of the main liberal media outlets (others will probably follow) have finally started to report on the other side of the story, we should not get too excited. Trump's advisor Scott Atlas, was recently blocked on YouTube for saying roughly the same thing as MSN...there are consequences from the cure that must be weighed against the ravages of the disease:

Just getting back to normal as you noticed BTW. Sally was an unwelcome guest, stayed much too long, and when finally gone, left a mess. Got internet back yesterday morning, and playing catch-up on the forum. Not easy to do as active as LF has become.
