    The "lock down" existed only if you were scared enough.

    Even after everything opens, and the virus becomes nullified, he problem is the social distancing culture was born, and it's here to stay.

    Thanks to the fear mongering, we now live in a permanent orwellian Covid-1984.

    Wear your mask, obedient slave.

    i suppose any instance of obeying the law only exists if you're scared enough, but i think being scared of the police is fairly natural.

    i don't expect the logical advice to continue to socially isolate to end. nor the plagues and conditions making it logical.
    not as long as the automobile is the god of transportation, and population increase is culturally perceived as a good thing.
    somewhere in the next five to twenty years, THIS one will have been cured, only to be replaced by another and another,
    and that's even still before sea level rise, even of only a few feet, throws even more into a cocked hat.

    yes there are things i'd like to see return, or with a reduction in the complications brought on by the current context.
    filter masks need to become cheap or free. the ones i have were when i bought them, because it was before any of this hit.
    i really wasn't expecting to start getting plagues before other events had happened or gotten more sever, though generally i'm not surprised this one did.

    things i look forward to, there's no gurantee of. they're things that partially depend on people getting smarter.
    unlikely as that sounds, its not entirely impossible.

    we're not as individuals, "locked down", only sensibly advised to take sensible precautions.
    many kinds of small businesses are "locked up", as a sensible precaution, that yes, there are problems from this,
    but the big part of those problems is how we've let ourselves become dependent, as an economy, on things that never made that much sense, to begin with.
