I picked arbitrary time frames in my question because at some point people are going to give up, regardless of the conditions on the ground. A massive amount of people have already given up.
I wanted to know if they were prepared to go on for 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 more years of mask wearing in public, travel restrictions, remote learning, testing, etc. if things stay the same.
- ryandrake 5y agoI see. Yea, I mean the only answer that really makes sense is "when it's over"--by some arguable definition of over. If they say "Well, I'll deal with it for 3 years but on year 4, that's it--I'm just going to give up, and pretend it's over." then I would: a) question where they got that number 4--what it's based on, and b) ask, if you're willing to ignore reality and just pretend it's over, why not just start pretending now?
- yupper32 5y ago> Yea, I mean the only answer that really makes sense is "when it's over" I wouldn't say that. On the extreme end, if I found out that this thing was not going to be "over" during my lifetime, I'd say it doesn't make sense to continue doing this for my entire life. What kind of life is that? And to be fair, I'm from the perspective of the Bay Area which has some of the strictest restrictions in the US. If you live in a more red area then you're more likely to already pretend it's over. > ask, if you're willing to ignore reality and just pretend it's over, why not just start pretending now? That's what I've been asking myself. I don't know the answer.
