FYI,
There is an old saying in finance, "Risk happens very fast!", and what you are witnessing is how the "low information" people and those wo have values about life and risk which are very different than yours, can create risk that happens very quickly. There is herd protection and herd risk. Distinguishing between the two is very situational, and being situationally aware can save lives.
In a prior life, I was an oil tanker captain, driving a gasoline or petrochemical bomb around. I have friends and acquaintances who are now no longer here because they didn't observe the proper situational risk. My college room lost his career because there was an accident which he missed a critical step, and someone was lost at sea. Luck plays a part, but you never want to rely on luck.
Better temporarily safe than permanently sorry.
