I think this has actually done a lot of damage because it's easier for young/healthy people to ignore the lockdown when they don't think they are at risk.  We would probably be doing better at lowering R if people were a little more scared.

This is why I am not vocally opposed to overreaction -- the hoarding, the toilet paper hoarding, etc....whatever motivates the most number of people to stay indoors is fine with me.  We know the smart people are going to stay indoors, but this is a group project, and we have to get as many people on board as possible...which means finding ways to alter the behavior of the not-so-wise.
