Psychopathic traits linked to non-compliance with social distancing guidelines amid the coronavirus

2. The ordinary rules don't apply to these people.

They’re already perfect. They’re special. They’re not normal, so the normal rules don’t apply.

This is typical thinking for a person with a Cluster B personality disorder, and psychopathy is one of those four disorders (along with borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic). It’s likely that one in every eight humans suffers from a Cluster B personality disorder. They make it very difficult to fight a pandemic for three reasons. 1) They believe that what they believe is right and that everyone else is wrong. They’re uneducable. 2) They don’t give a darn about anyone other than themselves because they lack empathy. They’re utterly selfish. 3) Nobody can tell them what to do. They’re control freaks.

Good luck fighting the pandemic! Perhaps all these folks will get sick and deny us of their presence among us.
