Restless

The news spreads
We're going to open borders
Pandemic becomes epidemic
Some people applauded and excited
Feel free to go
Dine-in
Travel
Gathering
Some people anxious and restless
Start to appeal,whine
Complain,criticise,satire
At a loss
It pays to be put in a double squeeze
But epidemic index up
Some people are unprepared
Starkly silent
Start to leave it to chance
Resigned to fate
But still have to make ends meet
Economic recession kills
Famine kills
Prolonged lockdown kills
And so
A lift of various ban
A new implementation
Restless though
We have to leave it to infinity
The unknown
Or to God 
Whom maybe 
All along we have gone
Astrayed and betrayed
Finally blessings with SOP
And we have to do our parts
Everyone please

You have covered a great deal of the angst in your poem. Some died from the pandemic, some suicide, some stay closed in, some venture out. Regardless we have all experienced this.
