"many people are willing to take some risk now that the pandemic hasn’t turned out to be plague-levels of badness that some initially feared"
Without expressing an opinion of my own, how can you write as though from a twilight zone without causal relationships?
I mean, you, or anyone, can doubt that the lockdown is necessary. You might be right!
But you must acknowledge and challenge the causal connection between the lockdown and "not plague levels of badness". Comments that just ignore the possibility creep me out, because I can't imagine what the writer is thinking, except maybe "wishing will make it so".
