Just when it seemed like the threat from the coronavirus was subsiding, fall turned to winter, and many of us were forced back inside. We soon got sick and tired of being cooped up. Our national mood seemed to be: enough already with the distancing, masks, 6-feet-apart thing. It soon became clear that people interpreted the threat and recommended public-health measures differently. It also became apparent that the situation could be used to further individual agendas. For example, I am an extrovert married to an introvert. One (me) wanted to invite friends to our home for dinner. The other (she) wanted to eat at a restaurant. We cautioned (shamed?) each other and stayed in and had no dinner parties.
