I think peoples risk tolerance is more rational than you might assume.

70+ year olds where vastly more likely to get vaccinated and use masks etc. https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-st...

Younger people to it less seriously, but they also had vastly lower risks. In the US below 9,000 people under the age of 30 died out of 1.1 million and of those many had significant health issues. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-...

You shouldn’t expect those groups to react the same when one is facing 100x the risk of the other.
