The will media covering large house parties because it is something that can easily get everyone outraged. People in the same poor situation hate seeing others break the rules or seeing unfairness. Meanwhile the extra long lockdowns can get ignored. There is only so much rage to go around.

What is "will media"?

I was referring to one very large beach party I heard about, a year ago or so. I wouldn't say outrage, just mild frustration, enough to mention it once then forget about it. I haven't seen any covid-related rage or even anger in real life. Not sure where is this rage you're talking about. Everyone I've seen—friends, acquaintances, strangers in the street—seems extremely relaxed and patient about the situation.

I'm not sure what you're insinuating—that there's a conspiracy to manipulate people into accepting a lockdown when they shouldn't? Or something.
