People have roamed and moved their bodies about since the first human walked. The unnatural state is one of prohibited movement where the doldrums of the everyday with its same walls, same chipped paint corner of a bedroom, same routine, same one yellowed box of a shelter are The Encounter.

Novelty, curiosity and exploration made the Human. You can no more take it out of us than the cat's meow. These cycles of lockdown can't last much longer without mass revolts. I say that not as one who is some great conspiracy thinker or who has a particular anger toward the G-Man for penning me in.

We've done that now, tried our best. It's time for a new approach.

There's nothing about things not being "open" that relates to someone's ability to "move around" in spite of the poorly chosen terms like "lockdown", which means in this context "I can't go hang out in my favorite bar" or "I have to wear a mask" when it used to mean "All the inmates must return to their cells"
