The New Normal

Things are quieting down in the Eastern part of the Commonwealth. There are rumors that the lockdowns and store closures will end soon. The hillbillies have responded in their normal fashion. With utter stupidity.
The 4 wheelers and golf carts have been out and about non-stop, and people are now visiting relatives they haven't seen in a couple of weeks. In the stores and about town, social distancing has become a thing of the past. Basically, everything has turned back to normal.
It will be interesting to see if there is a spike in illnesses in the next couple of weeks.
Whatever happened to don't panic but exercise common sense? The people of the hills went from buying all the toilet paper, water, and milk, to ignoring everything in the course of 3 weeks. That in itself I would understand. They're stupid. But, they are still buying all the toilet paper, water, and milk while ignoring the problem. They seem to be perfectly happy to keep both contradictory ideas in their heads simultaneously.
Of course, there is always the possibility that they want another round of the disease to spread. After all, unless you're in a nursing home, most people survive. Quiet a few more than survive the average, drunken, Friday night. Unemployment has been massively expanded, so they get a free paid vacation, and if Grandma dies, they hit the lottery when they get to sell her house. Life among the hill people makes one cynical.
