"Just try to not be one of the people. Don’t get it. That should be much easier in several weeks."

That's the best guess that I had for someone who's taking a little time out to avoid the intermittent, misinformed store mobs. If the bug moves as expected, most people will be more cautious (afraid), less inclined to go out and more tolerant of clerks wearing partial protection then. Seems paradoxical, eh? Easier for trained people to avoid getting it from surface contamination than from wandering, emitting spreaders.

I expect as people find out someone they know died they will start taking this seriously. Death is hard to bargain with.
