Biden has said he would lock down the country if "science" dictated doing so, but he does not have the authority, and people in many places would not put up with it.

How about Pandemicitus. I’ve got it. I’m sick of the stupidity.

I don’t know anything about pandemic fatigue but I do know I’m dying of a terminal case of cabin fever.

It isn't a "surge" ... it's not a "new spike". You see, when you lock people away and restrict their normal human interactions the virus will -- temporarily -- not be able to infect as many people in a given timeframe. Then, when things are relaxed a little (through the gracious benificence of the imperial governors), the virus picks up where it left off.

It's really quite simple, you see. THE VIRUS DOES NOT GIVE UP AND GO AWAY DURING THE TIME PEOPLE ARE LOCKED AWAY OR RESTRICTED IN THEIR HUMAN INTERACTIONS. It just "waits" for us to come back together in some semblence of normality before -- in the absence of an effective vaccine -- it runs its normal course again. This is what viruses do.

In my case my BS meter has pegged.

I’m not fatigued.

I am PI$$ED.

Joe could lock down the country.
A Dem congress would suspend Habeas Corpus if he asked.

Someone should ask him if he would do that.

When this began we were hyper vigilant at work and when back at home. It was mentally exhausting. The literature has seen the same issue in healthcare and with HIV as prevention fatigue.
