One thing I noticed here in California is that the societal behavior followed its own curve independent of the lockdowns. Ie. People locked down before lockdown was issued by government. When government lifted the lockdown people remained at home. When people started going out and cases went up people started staying at home again, then the lockdown came. So the lockdown itself had no impact although the removal of the lockdown would not have helped Most of the businesses who lost their customers.

People weren't following those things seriously

Some people cared, some didn't gave a fuck
