Earlier this year, and even into the summer when things looked better, there were a lot of people who wanted to stay as locked down as they possibly possibly could despite not being vulnerable or shielding or living with anyone who was. People saying they would homeschool until vaccines rolled out for children, not taking babies out of the house at all because they can look out of the windows if they need to see the world, that sort of thing.
I think life will ping back to normal fairly fast around/after spring, and a lot quicker than many people think. But curious about what's going to happen with the people who were that worried about leaving the house earlier on. Will they all be happy to go back to their lives when mass vaccinations are over and cases are down to near nothing? Or are we going to see a small number of very anxious people too worried to leave their houses for the long term, or waiting years until they're happier to take the vaccine? What do you think?
(asking entirely out of curiosity, and asking about the future, please do not huff at me for not understanding how scary it is to be CEV/shielded/already dealing with anxiety at a time when the virus is all over the place and there's no licensed vaccine)
