I remember during the swine flu outbreak a few years back, I saw people decide on their own to avoid crowds and going out so they wouldn't get it.
With the coronavirus, since the government is shutting things down, people are defiantly going the opposite direction in terms of "social distancing".
In other words "social distancing" is considered lame and boring now, which is also a surprise to me since young people seemingly couldn't care less about socializing in person (just messaging online on weekends as opposed to going out), but NOW they want to!!!
I guess people really do want what they can't have and will sacrifice health to overcome FOMO?? Idk It's weird. My allies have teenagers and they all want to go out now, where as before they were buried in a phone all the time.
The social behavior analysis of all this will be fascinating for years to come.
