Interesting new ideas I got from this passage:

* Pandemics as a major cause of mass surveillance.

* The historical context of festivals. Surely they existed before the plague but I wonder if they became more popular after it. I never thought of festivals as a sort of cathartic release from (and perhaps political rebellion against) shelter-in-place orders.
