Blindly follow orders, which make no sense?

I do wear a mask at all times when in public, but come on, I'm not going to the forest to walk my dogs with my mask on.

People got too comfortable with not doing any thinking on their own, instead went fully autopilot based on news and government.

People have been wearing masks before it was government guidance. People I'm talking to will keep wearing masks when it stops being government guidance. It sounds like they're doing thinking on their own rather than going autopilot based on news and government.

Obviously what I wrote doesn't apply to 100% of people.
