In my darkest moments, I paraphrase Clif High "Absent the idea that they are trying to kill us,none of this makes any sense."

I feel you have accurately diagnosed the current issue. Even here in the Northeast US (pandemia central outside California) there is little will to enforce measures. Mandates are over, public schools are back to normal kind of, and universities are STILL holding on to a mask mandate (thankfully only in classrooms, because the great scientists have found it doesnt spread at Gyms or the libraries.)

But, knowing many PhDs in biological sciences, they will never give up this prestige. They were absolute nerd nobodies for a while and now, having tasted power and prestige, will throw us all to the ground to be the one turned to during the next pandemic. The energy for Corona is gone, but the energy and capacity for the biosecurity state to destroy our lives at a whim has increased manyfold. Don't know what else will happen up here, I'm moving to Florida.
