I hate to be cynical, but I just have zero faith in people's ability to deprive themselves of social interactions, especially over the holidays. Essentially, I see four groups of people that cover all of society right now:
- Those who don't give a damn about others and are violating guidelines left and right (probably 10%)
- Those who say they're following the rules but turn around have aunts and uncles over or playdates for kids (probably 50%)
- Those who have no choice due to work commitments (probably 20%)
- Those who actually follow the guidelines to a T, hunker down and help kill this thing. (the remaining 20%)
You'll note that 3 of the 4 groups are just keeping this spread going. So I have little faith.
