Corona spread in India is the highest at present and numbers are daily increasing. We find that about 30 percent people do not use masks and many are keeping mask below the mouth to escape from police so that they can pull it to cover mouth and nose when a traffic signal is nearby.
The corona has affected the economy of India worst than any other country in the world and GDP is highest in negative direction. it is affecting the poor very badly. Many shops and small entrepreneurs are forced to close their business.
With all the above conditions, Indian citizens in large number are not taking the condition seriously. This phenomenon is quite strange and worth for research to understand the intention and behavior of these people. is there any effect of culture on irresponsible behavior? Whether, the information given by WHO that death rate of young people due to COVID-19 is negligible, is the reason for negligence? Whether people want to show that they are more immunized? What is the role of social stigma of considering corona patients as persons who committed sins so they got corona, and role social stigma of boycott of family having corona patient forcing the people to hide the illness?
Dear Chigbu,
The problem is that most of the people do not bother of social distancing and 30 percent do not wear masks.
How to enforce this ? Fine imposed on not using mask is not able to force the people to use masks.
Very interesting answers.
There are more interesting questions one would like to answer, such as !!

As the lineage of the virus is weakening with more recoveries; peole seem to be adopting a careless take on the situation. While herd Immunity may be months away - news on a possible vaccine soon is making it difficult to impose social distancing.
Contextually, Indians are more social with a strong urge to interact. It seems that 9 weeks of strict lockdown has had a rebound effect on their psyche. The current focus seems to be on immunology; sleep, food, exercise and work.
