If there is no vaccine there definitely will be therapeutic treatments. But as Donger suggested we could all wear masks while out in public and continue to be diligent about our hand washing along with some social distancing. |

I personally don't feel like I've been shamed or belittled into doing anything,but I also see no value in watching the news, so I don't... I've done plenty of research on my own and via this thread, and I've found plenty of the 'why', even if that's sadly not communicated on a broader scale outside of the occasional civil facebook post about it. I think this is all on point.... I'm all for educating people on the 'why'. The flip side to this, very sadly, is a lot of people quickly come up with their own opinion of the situation based on the very limited data in front of their face at the time, and then spend the rest of time finding ways to confirm it.... that's on display throughout this thread, or most threads around here. I'd guess the majority of people don't get beyond that first opinion, no matter how much education is out there.... they're forever stranded on Mount Stupid. And I'm not criticizing your points at all (just society as a whole)... I totally agree, and even if people don't take to the education, we should still do it, then people can choose whether they want to digest the 'why'. |

People taking anything from that Carlin meme is no different than assuming John Stewart and John Oliver's shows promoted nuanced understanding of current issues and events.

Maybe I'm too sensitive, but there seems an avalanche of '**** these butt****ing morons and their freedom' which, even if loosely apt for the situation is merely resentful and catastrophically counterproductive. Everyone is dealing with imperfect information and extraordinary times, and it just seems like persuasion remains superior to derision and muscle, even if some remain unpersuaded. Part of one's sacrifice for overall success might need to incorporate sublimating one's more snarky and combative impulses. |

I mean its not like masks keep working regardless I would bet they have to be replaced. You going to mandate people buy masks? I mean why stop there, clearly there is a epidemic of reeruns in this country we should mandate condoms while we are at it. |
