I would give this comment 'Hacker-news Gold' if I could.
Yesterday I heard on the radio the local chief of police saying they would be present and ready to write fines to people who didn't follow the new restrictions on public night life. Like they were actually eager to do so!
The same is true for people not wearing face-diapers on public transport.
I'm not saying ignore corona entirely, but on the other hand I'm shocked at how carelessly people act when their rights are violated and their governments oppress them.

What is the right that is being violated here? The right to put others in danger needlessly? You are free to choose to go and live in the mountains by yourself and not wear a mask, and the government won't stop you. Living in society comes with rules attached. Cherry-picking only the benefits of living in society but refusing the downsides doesn't work.
