At least they're admitting that the sweeping crackdown was somewhat psychologically detrimental to the individual, but I'm not thinking they're gonna be giving any apologies for the net suffering they caused any time soon, or admitting the obvious truth of the benefits of having both social and familial relationships to create rational and stable human beings. Also, the subtle irony of a Stalinist hoarding of power that made nearly everyone's life worse is seen from the viewpoint of its supporters as "Hey, this group we defined as having a below-average life is now looking more in line with the average!"
They won't admit its because of the lockdown, they'll say it was because of the virus
I've had family members say with a straight face that deaths due to lockdown induced poverty or mental health issues should be counted as part of the government's coronavirus death statistics, it's fucking asinine
