Thank you for this tight bottom line. As you suggested upthread I had badly misunderstood your point. Oops on me. Thanks also for your patient correction.
I completely agree with what you say here.
Lots of people will be more insular and less societal once this settles into whatever the “new normal” really is. I’m particularly concerned about the number of comfy-class suburbanites who’ve retreated into their all-but gated houses in their virtually, if not physically, gated communities and now have everything delivered while home-schooling their kids. There’s enough overwrought stranger danger and raging paranoia out there already without massively encouraging that as “sensible precautions” against the Chaos of the Great Unwashed.
See also this post and the article it cites. The overlap between their points and yours is concerning to say the least.
