I know Infowars predicted they will try to really push the fear porn next month. I’m seeing some chatter about a new variant. I’d like to think people won’t give into hysteria but I doubt that is possible.

I admire your optimism, but as I said in another comment, I have family that's still fully wrapped up in this shit. I also live in a fairly liberal area, and can tell you full well there are plenty of people ready to jump back onboard and freak the everloving fuck out over Pandemic 2: Electric Boogaloo.
If the pull the strings, plenty of people will dance.
That's a bad situation to be in as my family went opposite, I sent early warnings to them all, a few listed, many didn't. After it all though, they pretty much listen 80% of the time now, if I told them Biden finally hit the nukes they'd be packed up and in the wilderness out the blast range in minutes.
There are going to be people that dance, but there seems to be this...miasma atmosphere where if they tried to do the same thing that they did in 2020, majority around them is going to go 'wtf are you doing, fuck off with that Karen shit!'
The divides in religion, race and politics have been so deepened now that you can't do a 'national unity' of why we should all comply that the majority can get behind. This time if they do it, it'll be an 'everyone for themselves' and anyone complying will be easy targets for those that don't.
Thankfully, the family I'm closest to is based. The family I'm not as close to is either neutral or believes the narrative. But, yeah, I was disappointed to learn that someone I hadn't been in touch with in a while (more accurately the inverse, they weren't in touch with me) is still believing this nonsense. Annoying, but not that surprising. Oh well.
