Any new mandated lockdowns will trigger mass protests & riots unlike anything seen before.
Unless that new wave is like 10X more deadly & immune to vaccine, & so is effectively a new disease.
We can try it, might be right thing, but that will be one of the guaranteed results

Even should a new wave come, people will pull back & change behavior without mandated lockdown
What people hate though, is complete bureaucratic control of how they should deal with this stuff. Which are largely insensitive to the vast class differences lockdowns accentuates.

Not surprisingly, Covid policy has been less impactful to the same class of people who construct Covid policy — people with secure incomes who can work at home & Sheltering in place isn’t a hell of 3 generations & 6 people sharing one bathroom
While anti-lockdown vs pro-lockdown split has an eco class component (& educational one), it is more about income stream. Is it steady (bureaucrats, retirees, & employees at monopolies) or volatile (small biz owners, drug dealers, etc)
That makes both camps mix of rich & poor

Interestingly, this split is mostly the classic GOP vs Dems split — the entrepreneurial is your income volatile and you want government out of the way camp vrs the steady income & government 👍👍 camp. The guys who own 3 tire stores Vrs the teachers union.
