I think people stop caring, because it is impossible to keep up a high level of vigilance for an extended period of time. Plus the risk becomes normalized. People are not very good at evaluating risk. From an evolutionary perspective, we mainly do it by copying others. I cannot comprehend what a X% fatality rate really means on a personal safty evaluation. But seeing what other people are doing gives favorable odds. Of course, this heuristic has its pros and cons.
