Around here the restrictions only happen when the waves happen. I’m not the person you’re replying to here so I have a slightly different expectation: these will come and go regularly until the combination of vaccine and virally induced immunity is sufficient to stop the spread.

> And the next terrorist attack could be even more deadly

The current wave is a 9/11 every 3 days in just the USA: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailydeaths

The total USA fatalities over the entire pandemic so far is 282 9/11s.

The total worldwide so far is 1821 9/11s.

This is mainly a reason to not be afraid of terrorists rather than a reason to not be concerned about a disease.
