Totally different metrics, different incentives, different consequences, different risk, and different restrictions [including some that, while less than what we're currently imposing, are considered a stain on our nation].
We've been remarkably compliant, and now it's not just yearning to stretch our legs for the eff of it, but it's also bundled with an unspoken narrative that things that aren't evident in the near future and may not happen for a long time are becoming a pre-requisite to any changes at all. And social media while in personal isolation self-curates the most wild-eyed and outrageous for your perusal.
