Except there's hope of finding a more effective treatment against this virus while we are on pause. So lives can be saved potentially.
2 years of this is a non trivial amount of time.
We are all alive in our heads just like you are in yours.
To suggest it is totally cool to play this game 2 years into this requires an awful lot of privilege.
There is no certain amount of privilege required to "play this game" for 2 years than 1 year, or 1 month. You're setting up arbitrary lines in the sand and pretending they're laws of nature or maybe government.
I understand 2 years is as long as you want to wait, but we're all doing things we don't want to be doing. Such is the cost of living in a society.
