I wouldn’t call them that. In fact living in LA (not for long) I would consider all the fearful people living here to be the antisocial ones. Terrified at every new covid development. Locking themselves inside.
Having spent significant time in Florida this year, masks and any covid restrictions have been gone for a while there.
By contrast, all my new year’s plans in NYC got cancelled, mask mandates exist for gyms and a lot of other places, vaccine mandates exist everywhere, and many many shows have been cancelled.
While I understand many (most?) HNers would consider this positive (“look, people acted of their own accord!”), those tired of covid 19 restrictions, fears, and whatever else you want to call it, have looked at Florida with envy.
Lockdowns has become a catch all term for this.
I need to restate that many might agree with these restrictions so much so that it’s not a big deal to them but it’s not nothing and might even be significant for others.
