We're humans, ultimately we WANT to be able to see each other's faces, touch one another, and generally interact like normal. People were able to handle the social distancing thing and all the precautions for months, but with no real light at the end of the tunnel(A widespread vaccine could still be a year away if not more) I'm seeing a lot more of the "well, I'm just gonna hope it Covid doesn't kill me or mess me up too badly" attitude and people are getting on with their lives.

It's definitely concerning, Utah is setting records daily for COVID cases and nobody really seems to care enough. Halloween is coming up and people are already talking about how it "just wouldn't be fair for the children to rob them of fun experiences over a disease with such a low fatality rate"
