Personally I do if it collectively puts us all in danger. The non-compliance as a society extends the pain for all. China showed forced compliance allowed it to largely go away in a short period of time.

Assuming you can trust their numbers.
Even if you can't, our many layers of gov (local, state, fed) have issued stay-at-home guidelines for a reason. Violation of them just causes more cases, which extends the issuance. Now we're having to deal with a demand to return to open up, which will of course come with increases cases. The total numbers would be far lower with compliance to the original ordinances.

I see across the street from me many people in a park daily despite signs everywhere saying 'Closed due to COVID.' The selfishness is maddening.
