Pandemic must have damaged the soft skills and people skills of many people. We may have learned how to behave in the video calls and the group meetings. But may people have lost courage to speak in the stage, talk to people for hours in person. I think pandemic seems to have many effects on us and staying home is not a good. Though some countries may start again but new variants may randomly keep them home. I wonder how many people have lost social skills and the other work skills staying home.

I think people are so on edge you can’t blame them from acting loopy
Variants are very common among viruses. Influenza, common cold etc. all have thousands of variants. A virus' evolutionary incentive is always to converge towards high efficiency in infecting other hosts but be as benign is possible to the host. Deadly or even dangerous virus' eventually wipe themselves out. Killing the host is "bad business" for a virus. Being continually afraid of variants is not rational.
