I wonder what the relative micromurder (sorry, it just has better prosody than micromanslaughter) rates are for not wearing a mask on public transport in winter vs say smoking in a bar.https://twitter.com/GeniesLoki/status/1313040025504886784 …

very hard to tell because of contagion. maybe you get flu to a random 35 year old woman in the bus that gets it to grandma and she dies. does not happen with second hand smoking.
Yeah, fair point. Though micromurders are statistical so you could still work this out by basically considering the effectiveness on the flu rate of a given intervention. Hmm. But now your micromurder rate is *very* dependent on other people's behaviour.

Alright guys, it's time for some game theory (1/145)

Ooh, I know this one. *presses cooperate*

Yeah, weirdly enough if most wear masks it's not important that *you* wear a mask (while asymptomatic), in much the same way that if most people like you vote your vote really doesn't matter. Of course, this logic only holds for as long as most don't believe it

Yeah. You kinda need a social norm where you both wear a mask and give other people a hard time for not wearing a mask for it to be stable I think, but currently there's too much anti-mask sentiment for this to work.
