It's not that stupid to feel overconfident (aka normal) when there are no cases reported in your vicinity. After he got the disease he didn't do anything dumb.

In my country of roughly 5.6 million people we now have > 800 cases. Diagnosed, so multiply at least by 10 or 20.

Day before yesterday, colleague handing over company car to me. He gets out, and needing hands for both his bag and the doorhandle he holds the key between his teeth. And is vocally offended when I refuse to accept it dumped into my gloved hand.

Those are the ends of the spectrum.
