I don't know, I've been stunned to hear from people -- not a lot, but some -- who've enjoyed the past year and will be sorry to return to normal life. And there's definitely a masks forever constituency, though it might be larger on here than in the real world.

Yeah, I mean, there are aspects I **have** enjoyed and things I'll now prefer, though the points of enjoyment are overwhelmingly tied to being being v lucky to be able to work from home, not had much financial impact etc. But I also can't wait to see people again.

Maybe. I'm so traumatized by this year that I get upset, maybe irrationally so, by suggestions that any of it is permanent. And I follow all public health guidance on masks but probably hate them as much as the most egregious anti-maskers so I hope they don't become a norm.

I mean, I've found the last year a downer too? And I get what you're saying. It is traumatic. It is horrible. Wish it'd never happened and wish it would end. All of it. But I do sense that some people have found a need to conjure these people up because it's hard to be mad ...

I think one potential trajectory is not that people *want* to stay in this mode, but will not feel safe enough to let go of some mitigations, which is acceptable as an individual decision but comes with costs, but that this will also extend into policy fights. But who knows?

Another trajectory (already happening) is that the vaccinated forget how many (usually less powerful) people are not, both nationally and globally, and they get back to living in their now safe personal zones, while large numbers remain vulnerable.
