It is amazing (and absolutely terrifying) as to how belligerent Americans are to any sense of being told what to do. A good % of them will purposely do the opposite just to exercise their freedoms.
So in a situation of lock-downs, shelter in places, and generally strong advice to socially distance you have:
- Neighbor's continually inviting us to BBQ's and dinner parties
- Bars are closed so people are having tailgate parties outside of the local liquor stores with friends
- Nobody respecting 2m distancing at groceries, even with tape lines to indicate safe spacing
- Assholes purposely coughing and as they do so muttering "corona" in public places treating it like a joke
- Young people on tiktok and other social media doing things like spitting, licking, or coughing on others/foods.
Unfortunately this is not selective in that those acting like idiots are not the only impacting themselves, but they are helping the spread and impacting others.
