It has nothing to do with common sense. When you get down to the community / individual level with people, they all believe that they themselves are the exception to the rule. They put on a mask, sanitize their hands a few times and think to themselves "Well a lot of other people died but I'm smart so I won't die."

I totally think it's possible to shame everyone into precautions
310,000 deaths too late

Next time, world, please listen to me, I promise we won’t need to kill hundreds of thousands. About fifty will do fine.

Trolley Problem.

I'm not advocating killing them - I'm not mini-hawk - but if there's a choice between say two people being treated, one of whom took the proper precautions and got sick (maybe even not with Covid), the other who scoffed at masks and got the virus, then I say the latter is left without treatment. If they want to pretend they're immune, invincible or that the virus doesn't exist, why should you get any help when it slaps you upside the head and says HEY ****WAD! I'M REAL! YOU GET IT NOW?? **** them I say.

That doesn’t stop it becoming the sad reality that you’re going to get it too.

I don’t give a **** about teaching them a lesson. I just don’t want it.
