This is a false dichotomy.

Bars and clubs in many cities are open and basic infection control measures are not being taken or enforced by significant percentages of staff and patrons alike.

We enforce the laws against smoking indoors more diligently and stringently than we do removal of masks in crowded areas.

If you take issue with this generalization, then you should also take issue with the parent comment's note that 'we' aren't taking it seriously enough.

Some people, cities, states, are being extremely cautious. Some are not. I moved from Bay Area California to bum fuck Florida during COVID, and it's like being in a different timeline.
