Laissez faire?

I live in small town USA, a tourist town that has been hard hit by Covid 19 restrictions.

Fortunately, we are, for the most part, a town that cares about our people, so we have been wearing masks when we go out, there have been NO "let's open now" protests, and even our recent very small gatherings of George Floyd protests have shown social distancing and mask wearing.

Mind you, we are small, not a big city with it's inherent risks of having so many people cramped into tight spaces - we have no big box stores as example.

STILL - with recent news that we have had no outbreaks in the last week in our town, I am still stunned by how "lax" some of our citizenry has become.

Suddenly, mothers with the toddlers going to our shops without masks, people picnicking at our marina in large groups, our sidewalks filled with strollers and shoppers - with more and more people coming from outside our town.

If one person in our town ends up being a carrier, there will be another outbreak.
BUT the counter-argument is, we have to open for the sake of our economy at SOME point, right?

I agree, but with all the precautions in place. My argument has nothing to do with government dictates, but the behavior of the average Joe or Mary.

The same people I observed last month observing distancing, wearing masks, going out ONLY when absolutely needed are now taking their unmasked kids shopping?

SO - simple question:

HAVE YOU observed the same change in behavior amongst your fellow citizens over the last couple of weeks? A more "Laissez faire" attitude towards protecting self and loved ones from the potential of contracting Covid 19?
