Broadway is Back! But... why?

 

As reported by the New York Times, Broadway shows started back up last night in earnest, as musicals like Hamilton, Wicked, and the Lion King re-took stages after a long hiatus.
 
Meanwhile, stands were packed for football games last Saturday and Sunday (not to mention Friday night high school games), and other enterprises are re-gaining their footing.
 
The problem is this: now is when people expected to the pandemic to fade, but that didn't actually happen. Things are pretty bad in many areas, actually, with some cities registering their worst numbers of the pandemic.  
 
It seems that the attitude is "we can't keep stuff closed down forever." But this seems like a very odd moment to bust open the gates, doesn't it?
