I suspect there are still significant numbers of people who fall into the "no different than the common flu" category and consider many of the precautions a media fueled panic. Plus younger people probably don't see the risk.

I have a nearly full box of N95 masks purchased a some time ago for belt sanding some house siding and for allergies doing some sorts of yard work. I haven't decided if there would be any occasion where I might wear them.

There are a lot of occupations that are not in the service industry or people unable to work at home where work goes on in some sort of normal fashion.
