Now, authorities worry complacency could undo that good fortune, as an economic divide emerges between the public when it comes to who is remaining vigilant.<\/p>\n<p>Some 57% of Pakistanis say the virus threat is exaggerated, and 42% say it\u2019s a foreign conspiracy, according to a December 2020 poll conducted by Gallup Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>Restrictions to curb the pandemic, dubbed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), are rarely followed.<\/p>\n<p>At the bus station, passengers are supposed to sit socially distanced, wearing masks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe lose a lot of income when they are apart from each other, because only when the bus is full can we make a profit,\u201d Kabir Ahmed Kiyani, the station\u2019s manager, told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll business has been hurt and especially transport&#8230;more than half our passengers are gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Islamabad\u2019s Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Hamza Shafqaat leads a team of police officers on a surprise inspection of a bustling upscale marketplace. Shopkeepers usher out customers and hastily produce masks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenerally the people of the upper classes or upper middle class, they are somehow implementing the SOPs,\u201d Shafqaat told\u00a0<em>Reuters<\/em>. \u201cBut if you see people from the lowest strata, for them implementation of the SOPs is almost impossible, and for us it is also a huge challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shafqaat said the city has handed out some 10 million rupees in fines and closed 800 businesses since the pandemic began.<\/p>\n<p>Restrictions like closing schools and mosques could return if the case numbers go back up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there cannot be a complete lockdown, our country cannot afford
