You may be right, to be honest I've not been observing my home State as closely as I possibly should. The ridiculous overkill lock down recently does not fill me with confidence.For me to be happy, they'd have to hand back their SOE powers. It's really hard to plan anything with security in an effective dictatorship. It might  be benevolent, but they can still change the rules at the drop of a hat. We're not at war, we have a nasty virus and if the system in 2020 was not robust enough to deal with it, eighteen months down the track, it should be. We already have another mutation, this could go on for years. Next step will be to postpone elections because of the public health emergency.
