The first several times I went to the movies after the theaters reopened they were empty, it took months and months and months for people to want to come back. But earlier in the pandemic, people in my neighborhood were breaking the rules and throwing house parties. — PolitiTweet.org

I think the biggest mistake people make in thinking about the Covid era is overrating top-down policy relative to bottom-up behavior. DCPS was slower to reopen than I preferred but DC charters were even slower to return and clung longer to masks. — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, the government had very little interest in enforcing Covid rules (not like what you can see on YouTube from Australia) and no ability to force the cautious people to stop being cautious. Policy surely mattered but it mattered less than people think. — PolitiTweet.org
