Restrictions 

Rules/restrictions/laws are often a matter of what people can do with their popularity/support (power) and money.
As long as the restrictions were more popular with most people than using their own brains to determine what they should and shouldn't do, they would keep piling on, rather than end. Some things don't end without a fight.

Restrictions 

If the unintended side effect of restrictions and lockdowns is premature death by heart problems and lack of the kind of activity people got before the pandemic, what good are the lockdowns? Telling people there is a new normal, and giving them guidelines on how to exercise in it will never keep them as healthy as they were before the restrictions and lockdowns. The bullshit is bad for everybody, though the people and entities behind the lockdowns and restrictions are never going to openly admit that it's bad for people.
The restrictions and lockdowns are going to endanger and kill some people anyway, so what's the point? In reality, life is worth losing, that's what a scientist, someone in the business of healthcare, the WHO, the government, the media, or anybody else making money off the pandemic isn't going to tell anybody.

Dance Restrictions Apply 

A person who, at a dance/club, does not dance, just stands around looking cool, typically acting like a pimp.
"Dude! You just turned down the hottest girl here!"

"Dance restrictions apply, dude."

Virus restrictions 

When someone tells you that virus restrictions will end, they're usually assuming you think that they will end without you having to fight for it to end.
If the case numbers went up before each executive order on one phase was set to expire, what do people think will happen on the next phase? Another bullshit setback, another bullshit extension of virus restrictions.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
