People were less careful about distance even before the lockdown ended. There were some neighborhoods I avoided while walking around during the day. Especially avoided the university and neighborhood to the east.

As soon as lockdown ended I started seeing people on 4th and packed parking lots around Tucson. Ive completely avoided actual downtown so can’t say what that’s like.

Judging from what I saw, people were going out and not careful about distance a couple of weeks before shutdown. The end of lockdown was as much a psychological issue in my opinion. It gave false optimism and security to people who were tired of staying home.

We’re still isolating. I walk around but take routes where hardly anyone walks. Seeing a lot of town that I’ve never walked before.
