“The longer this goes on, the harder it’s going to be to return to society where pants are required”

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic led to quarantines, and many people dressed casually in their homes.  American comedian, writer, producer, actor and television host Stephen Colbert posted on Twitter on March 27, 2020:
   
“The longer this goes on, the harder it’s going to be to return to a society where pants are required.”
   
”*return to a society where bras are required*” was added a few minutes later on Twitter by Cheyenne Matthews. “The longer this goes on, the harder it’s going to be to return to a society where bras are required” was posted on Twitter by “In FORBES 30 under 30 most successful douchbags!” on March 28, 2020.
 
“The longer this goes on the harder it will be to return to a society where pants and bras are required”—with both “bras” and “pants”—was posted on Twitter by Tony on March 29, 2020.
