The experts and politicians and press terrify people and tell them to stay indoors and not socialize. It disproportionately affects the young and the poor, partly because they don't have jobs they can work remotely, partly because they don't have a savings cushion, and partly because they are young people who, by nature, desperately want to socialize. They get worked up about a horrible incident which gets everyone's emotions amped up to 11, and they charge outside in massive, exultantly angry devil-may-care protests - with the blessings of the establishment who recognize an unstoppable force when they see it.
They sow the wind
But express surprise
When the whirlwind rises
Before their eyes.
