You have a 0.86 chance of dying from COVID in Mexico city (a hot spot) and a 1.22% chance of dying in a car accident. When is the last time you thought about dying when getting in a car to drive someplace? Like never.
When you look at it that way, people taking a chance on COVID seems more understandable.
Edit - Now consider that La Manzanilla is not even close to being a hot spot, then look at a typical set of headlines for Mexico (at bottom) and you will get a hint of why most people have tuned out on COVID.
Note - The auto death percent was calculated by my piecing together stats and may be incorrect.
Mexico auto death rate - 12.3 per 100,000
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate#List
population of Mexico - 129,580,298
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=population+of+Mexico&t=h_&ia=web
129,580 x 12.3 = 1,593,834
1,593,834 is 1.22 percent of 129,580,298
