Might as well just declare now that all holidays/events/anything fun are cancelled for 2021 and get it over with.
That is the inevitable direction. 2022 as well. The bad-news is being incrementally doled out, so that the masses incrementally accept it. It worked in March of 2020, and it's still working.

I swallowed it. It was delicious!

Yes, so as soon as the unremitting harshness was the least bit attenuated, disaster struck. Ergo, keep teh harshness going/

The point is that we are being incrementally prepared for more and more restrictions and privations. I don’t follow sports, and the last time that I attended a Super Bowl party was around 1994. This particular cause doesn’t affect me. And that’s the whole idea… peel away persons who could be swayed, because their own interests aren’t presently compromised. Later, another instance will arise, when my interests are very dearly compromised… but by then, others will have been likewise peeled away, and would be unavailable to offer support.

That might explain your perspective. I wear my mask about 10 hours a day, in a nearly-empty office. It's a start-up... sparse group, large building, but owned by a rabid hypochondriac.
If you have lots at stake, and comparatively little cost, surely you'd sustain the cost. But if the situation is exactly the other way around, don't matters also appear the other way around?
There are millions of simpering fools who like being treated like children. They vote Democrat.
This is true if you just look at the state by state COVID style. Look at Florida! I just love that DeSantis with his style. That is a VERY large state with a LOT of old people in assisted living, yet their death rate is much lower per capita than my state, PA. Just next door in Ohio they are much more open and they also have a much lower death rate than PA.
The left is like a cancer and sadly I don't think there is any way to stop it. Look at California losing tons and tons of people moving to Colorado and Arizona. They destroyed Colorado and Arizona already and next up is Texas. They bring that failed politics with them and just kill other states. A cancer!
