Honestly, a pandemic is more of a reason to have a schedule laid out rather than the reverse, so I don't know why anyone, after having to deal with Covid for this long, would think the opposite. Let's also factor in that a statement was made that everything was "back on schedule" so everything would be business as usual.

With that in mind, if you play as a healer, you'll know that radio silence on a particular subject is business as usual for FFXIV.
