Maybe I'm glass half empty but I did not even see that in SoCal earlier this month. Everyone was behaving like there was no pandemic. Restaurants and bars were packed, hotel lobbies were packed, very little mask wearing (we were one of few folks with masks on). I expect the behavior to be even less cautious in places like FL or LA.
