1) No, any sanctimony present (and there was none, really) was entirely necessary. 2) I actually made no argument in favor of "fresh restrictions", but that's a nice straw man you are weaving together, there! 3) I didn't "imply people are selfish". I said it, straight out. GP's stated view is ludicrously selfish and ignorant. 4) After two years of sacrifice? That's just it, though: some people still don't get it, as evidenced by the comment I replied to. 5) Nobody argued for "indefinite social distancing", but, again, great straw man. Similarly, I did not say or imply that these measures are "inconsequential". 6) Excuse me, but as a professional classical singer, I am actually part of the industry that is perhaps the most affected out of any industry out there, or at least, tied for that dubious honor. So I don't need any lectures from you. My entire field was wiped out for about 19 months and is only now starting to limp back.
