Abstract
As we approach 18 months of a global pandemic and imposed public health restrictions, some people have continued to follow the rules while others seemingly haven’t. This dichotomy of lockdowns, as we describe, appears to have split populations along lines of supposed ‘compliers’ and ‘non-compliers’. In Chapter 6, we charted how this divide evolved and played out in the ‘new normal’ with the culmination of the responsible (complier) vs negligent (non-complier) citizens.
