Hopefully this madness blows over in the next few weeks as the cases plunge but I don't have much faith in the people running the show.
My SWAG... they want as much progress as possible now, by any and all means, so they can lighten up before the midterms. They don't want a covid surge next summer, they don't want economic disruption, and I don't think they want to be pushing mandates hard next year either... they know that will drive a lot of the middle ground away.
