Our Covid Reaction Has Been Bad. I Blame Puritanism.

Just tried to see what the rule were for vaccinated folks traveling and, apparently, there's a whole bunch of buck-passing (still) and conflicting info. What it amounts to, IMO, is a whole bunch of pandemic theater. For example, here in King County you can eat, sans masks, in indoors, and that's fine, while someone, masked and vaccinated should be quarantined? It makes zero sense. And this is a year into the damn thing. Read the thread about. So many puritanical types on the liberal side of things are into pandemic theater and I'm not sure why. (note, me being yelled at outdoors from 100m away for running sans mask, me complaining about the outdoor pull-up bars being gone and the entire r/seattle screaming at me (cause how dare I question that). Though, tbf, the one person agreeing was saying covid was a joke, which is, of course, a smart way of framing that discussion, in that it makes me appear like a covid denier when I'm not. I blame, ultimately, our puritanical roots that even the left tends towards. 
Do you have good examples of pointless covid theater?
