Every time lockdown has been lifted in the country I live in, the restaurants and pubs have quickly gone back to full capacity even as deaths continue and the state only lessened restrictions to improve consumption. The general public has a vague awareness that the victims of COVID are overwhelmingly people aged 75+ with multiple comorbidities. Deaths of younger people are statistical outliers, and claims of "long COVID" are mainly uniformed self-diagnosis by people on the internet, the same people who before COVID were claiming to have "chronic Lyme disease". Furthermore, that elderly demographic that represents the real risk group, doesn't contribute to the economy much anyway. (In Russia and other economies based on resource extraction, for example, thinktanks have referred to such as "superfluous population").
