This is simply not true. Most people in New York would not say anything, regardless of whether they support the law or not. I saw people without masks on the subway every day while they were required and nobody ever said anything to them.

I'd imagine that comes partially from risk assessment. Is the risk of a highly negative interaction worth highlighting the rules infraction? AKA, is it potentially worth my life to tell someone they aren't following the rules.

  It is partly that, and partly because so many people are breaking rules constantly that it just seems normal.

Good. Mask mandates are an extremely unskilled method of encouraging a behaviour. The mandate resulted in many people putting any old piece of cloth over their faces. Mask mandates enabled the topic to become a political issue. Therefore, the refusal of many to comply is the more correct decisions. Stupid rules should be broken, and the rule makers ridiculed and removed from office. If your response to a crisis to become a tyrant, you are not fit to lead.

  This doesn’t change my point. There are a lot of people who were for mask mandates (whether you agree with them or not), and where I live, they typically didn’t confront people who were disobeying.
