I first read this article a couple months ago but I feel like some of the concepts they discuss, like the disruption of anomie (well-explained in the article) and widespread desperation for normalcy, more closely get at what’s going on than ignorance. People who need others to continue respecting the pandemic are up against powerful psychological drives that are driving many people to do the opposite and “move on”.
