Definitely plenty seem to think (a) a single negative nasal swab early into symptoms means not-COVID and (b) vaccinated people do just fine anyway. It's an attractive thing to want to believe and the government does little to suggest otherwise. It's great right now to be in a country that still has plenty of masking.
Yeah, I think in many places it's maybe only this millennium that it became at all comfortable to come out, and even then only in some cities, even now I assume it's one of the many things that throws the urban/rural divide into sharp relief. I mean, sure, I had friends who came out beforehand, but I suspect it was more a case of personal necessity than comfort.
