But all this depends on the turnings turning.  You live in an area where the unravelling mind set is dominating.  We’ll see if they can out stubborn the virus, pretend they are not killing themselves.  Will they dig into their ignorance deep enough to kill the attempts to save lives and restart the economy?  Will attempting to kill more people and stall the economy result in the majority applying enough social pressure to enforce the new normal?

This is a good point, and one that the Boogaloo Bois are counting on.  In case you've missed the latest iteration of political whacknuttery, the Boogaloo Bois are a rightwing anarchist "group" similar to Antifa on the left. Apparently, they've seized on the protests in many cities, and used them to create low level mayhem.  In most cases, they are the ones looting the high end stores.  I doubt the numbers in either consortium are very high, with both "groups" being intentionally disorganized, but creating mayhem is pretty easy if you set out to do it.  The big question: how quickly will this anarchist urge die-out and a more communal one take hold?  We've celebrated the individual for decades.  Tamping that down won't come easy.  Add a pandemic, and it gets really messy.
