MASKS?
Of course I wear a mask, wash my hands constantly and go out sparingly. I’m older, have chronic asthma, and take care of an elderly parent on constant oxygen. I’m in the target demographic and interact with medical and elder care staff. But I don’t ask OTHER people to wear masks.
Like leash laws, masks punish the Fit, Healthy, Cautious, Active and CLEAN, when it’s the unfit, unhealthy, incautious, lazy, and unclean who interact, contract, and transmit the disease – at do so largely at home. These people, medical, and elder care are the at-risk demographic.
However, how do we isolate people by those behaviors? Well, age, occupation, class, and race is part of it because of race differences in demographic distribution (class) and resulting behavior. But there is no way to do that.
We always have a few choices: Isolate if you’re in a risky occupation. Stay home if you’re afraid. Don’t if you aren’t. But the risky will spread it anyway. So bad actors spoil it for everyone.
If we were homogenous like the chinese or japanese how would this problem differ?
