THE RULES ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE.

Science is for hoi polloi to worship, and the nachalstvo to ignore.  Waffle House is for hoi polloi to eat hearty, and their chief executive officer, Steve Cortes, tells the nachalstvo to ... be more respectful.  "Those pushing for harsh restrictions are almost all credentialed-class elites who don’t suffer personal professional consequences from lockdowns."  He's not yet into full-on civil disobedience, but the nuances are behind a Business Insider paywall.

On the other hand, if the people who are doing the overnight deliveries and cooking the food so that the symbolic analysts don't have to cook any more stop making the deliveries, perhaps that will concentrate a few minds among the people who are fine with quarantines as long as they're not inconvenienced.

SECOND SECTION.  At Insta Pundit, Ed Driscoll finds a John Miltimore essay that makes two important points.  First, individuals have the responsibility for determining their own risk exposures.  "It’s certainly true that some activities are going to pose greater risks than others, but the reality is that only individuals can determine how much risk is worth taking to engage in a given activity."  Second, dissent is the highest form of patriotism, but sometimes, the highest form of patriotism involves taking on additional risks.  "Ehmer’s opposition to lockdowns should be applauded, but eventually it may require more than words to break the lockdown spell. It may require peaceful but assertive action."

There has already been a good deal of emergent civil disobedience.  Perhaps there will be a great deal more during the Festive Season that is starting now.
