It's amazing how reckless some people can be. Shut down restaurants to stop the spread of the virus, so people go to restaurants further away, to spread the virus even more. You'd think shutting everything down would be a pretty clear signal, but apparently a lot of people just don't care.

It's complacency. People think about the here and now, not what the situation will be 7 days afterwards or more, when these measures will actually have visible effects and may ultimately impact whether they catch the disease and/or can get effective treatment for it.

I think to give these people a minimum benefit of the doubt, we as a species have never before dealt with a virus that can last on surfaces for days, incubate for several weeks, and remain in lungs for over a month beyond a “recovered” patient testing negative. Not to mention the known yet nearly impossible to measure asymptomatic spread.

All of this is new in so many ways all at once. Frankly I think it’s so beyond our expectations of what a virus can be that many people simply don’t believe the facts.
