Upper Middle Class fancy progressive Smart People with secure zoomable jobs & comfortable living arrangements genuinely think they’re gonna Wait Until Vaccine. That’s their actual plan, whatever their rhetoric.

They’re gonna keep their kids home, do their learning online or in ‘pods’, for a year or three or five if that’s what it takes. No activity or associating with others will be allowed unless they’ve confirmed that ‘masks’ and ‘social distancing’ will be ‘practiced’.

They will insist that whatever governments rule over them impose maximal restrictions (mostly on others), of whatever type, as possible to get away with, and will be disappointed any time something is relaxed. Because Wait Until Vaccine is their goal.

There isn’t a new restriction they would oppose, and there isn’t a current restriction they would favor replacing. Not Until Vaccine.

Restrictions are good because they keep other humans, who are the enemy, away from them.

Except, of course, when those other humans are needed to deliver Amazon stuff to them or to do their landscaping. But that will all just continue apace, with no disruption. That’s what fancy Smart Upper Middle Class progressives think.

They think they can just keep doing this as society crumbles and burns around them. Health fascism will just continue and continue and keep them ‘safe’. Why shouldn’t it? They’re Smart and secure, they’ve got theirs, and after all, they’re just following The Science.

They think their jobs and paychecks will just continue throughout all this, no matter what. After all, they have fancy degrees, and their jobs are Important. Look how many zoom meetings they have on their Outlook calendar. That’s just irreplaceable
