People got used to the lockdowns. The first one is always the hardest to push. They've been building the propaganda for all the "beneficial" side effects of the Coof lockdowns, they'll hype that into overdrive alongside the terror of climate problems.
People miss the things they used to be able to do, not the abstract concept of freedom. They miss going to sports games, concerts, going on vacation etc.
Fair point. That does mean, though, that if the Owners can figure out ways to satisfy those desires while doing most of their lockdown bullshit, they'll happily do so, and people will go along. Panem et circenses works.

People want freedom, but they're scared of Covid.
Climate change doesn't have the same power as a disease to make people follow ridiculous commands.
The average person doesn't want freedom, he wants security.
