FILE - In this March 17, 2020 file photo, a marquee outside the Lake Theater & Café in downtown Lake Oswego, Ore., reminds people to practice social distancing and stay home if sick. There's a new type of social policing out there that's developed almost as quickly as the viral disease that spurred its arrival.

And it's part of a new reality for Americans who must navigate a world of rapidly evolving social norms in the age of COVID-19. (AP Photo/Gillian Flaccus, File)
