I can't think of a better example of elites being in a bubble detached from the rest of society than the attitude that people are just so *silly* and *naive* for wanting to get back to normal and/or will happily abide another year of sharply limiting in-person socialization. — PolitiTweet.org

Also, empirically, most people *have* resumed their social lives. Even with Delta concerns, restaurant reservations are ~90-95% of what they were pre-pandemic, for instance. Air travel is back to ~80% of pre-pandemic norms. https://t.co/KWA3ItuZTh https://t.co/aU7tjKF8MA — PolitiTweet.org

The better argument (I don't know that I agree, but it at least recognizes people's strong desire for normalcy) is the opposite one. That people *can* get back to ~normal because vaccines << hospitalizations/deaths so we can take our time figuring out how to boost the right way. — PolitiTweet.org
