I agree that this is part of it along with a general lack of critical thinking/science/logic education, but I think that a bigger issue is information sources. The first time that some people heard of the coronavirus was through their friend opining that they thought that a preventative law was bull****, and they learned of the law through a meme's representation of the media's representation of a public official's representation of their cabinet/campaign team/lobbyist's representation of the science. So by the time they hear the science it's been tarnished by a slew of legitimate and perceived biases/agendas/influences and most people don't take the time to verify their first impression.

Then I remember that I'm going through a pretty serious depression/anxiety spell over the last few weeks with no end in sight so I just take a CBD and put some jazz on.
Ja there's a lot of people being careful in California but the entitled idiots are coming out of the woodwork after doing the bare minimum for a week.

Hope you feel better man.
