When they heard "bars reopening," they got the signal that it was okay to hang out with their friends and families again. People were not getting clear signals of the need to maintain distancing or wear masks. If you can drink in a bar, surely it's okay to go to that graduation party, right?Burger, you may be correct, but if you are the society is doomed anyway. We have way too may people who are not capable of functioning in a society as complex as we have. I don't buy it. Those people knew they were taking a risk. It was an acceptable risk to them, so they did it. The rolled the dice and lost. When asked, they didn't want to look stupid, so they fell back to "I didn't know any better". They still look stupid to you and me, but that was better than the truth. Also, my dog ate the homework and I don't recall.
