The 'vibe' you describe pretty much sums up the feeling I was getting when visiting the US (Washington state specifically) last Xmas. So much fear, anxiety, anger, and tension everywhere. Even a lot of the people who weren't worried about Covid seemed to walk around a bit angry and with a chip on their shoulder (understandable, yet makes for an unfun vibe). The only public place that had any people having fun at all seemed to be the playground; and even there some of the parents were serious buzzkills. A Comic-Con in that environment seems a bit like hosting an Iraqi wedding party in a Falujah prison... with Dick Cheney as the emcee.

That's interesting, though not uplifting haha. This was in Chicago which was locked down pretty hard for longer than many states here, so I did/do wonder about the vibe in other parts of the US
