...but it's because of a virus that poses an unprecedented level of danger, because of easy travel...and health bureaucrats say so. That's why travel is restricted and the health bureaucrats (and the governors etc. who employ them) now function as dictators.

Strictly temporary.

We're just slowing the spread. That's why we wear masks and follow curfews. It won't stop it, but yes, it will slow the spread.

And sure, it can be expected to blow up into a dark winter which will cause mass extended lockdowns everywhere, but that will be reasonable too.

Everything will go back to normal after the vaccine is here. Well, you'll need regular vaccines, because this virus doesn't respond the way vaccines normally do. We've known that since we didn't have a vaccine. Come on, keep up.

But actually...

I mean, OK, it will be a "new normal," not the bad old normal that let over a quarter million people die. Look, we've had enough of Trump and his crazy followers' deadly notions of "freedom." Yes, in the new normal, we might have lockdowns, masks, etc., but we need them.

Everybody says we'll "build back better," that's the slogan on lips around the world! I'm excited about that! Who cares if there are fewer people working, if we are distanced from each other, increasingly monitored, told what to put in our bodies, etc.

That's worth it, because there will be fewer cars on the road, and most importantly, fewer people dying with Covid-19! Don't listen to the fake news and conspiracy theorists who tell you suicide and poverty will cause more deaths, and that freedom is important. It's not true.

I for one am very excited to start taking the vaccine, *and* I'll keep wearing the mask and won't complain if it's required, because I know that (unlike past vaccines) this vaccine won't actually be effective for long. We'll need regular boosters. That's normal, right? Sure.

What are all you people are so suspicious about? You should just trust our governors, health administrators, and other authorities. They have our best interests at heart, and they're a lot smarter and more unselfish than all the "freedom-loving" "patriots" who disagree with them.

So I for one welcome the quarantining and immobilization of the healthy people of whole states to slow deaths "with" a virus, even if the death rate is a small fraction of what it was last spring!
