The thing about social distancing "hawks" vs "doves" is the hawks are just being *consistent* The virus is a physical thing, it follows physical rules, if you're within six feet of another person you're at risk of inhaling microscopic particles of spit they exhale, that's it

The virus doesn't actually care about this either, which is why we have a steady march of people CONTINUING TO GET INFECTED AND GET SICK at supermarkets, at warehouses and processing facilities, and at hospitals

Any "reasonable concessions" you make so people can go hang out at the beach again if they pinky promise not to make out with any strangers just speeds up the rate at which those "essential workers" get exposed, infected and in some cases killed

Unless you're willing to look at that equation and tell those "heroes" to their face "It was worth it for X number of you to die so we could that beach party", unless you actually understand what the tradeoff is, you should shut the fuck up

Totally true. Still, we see how social standards change with a situation. We can have this policy for six months, but people will go back out after that. I was in more danger homeless pre-Covid then now. Even factual danger has relative factors. I'd rather have Covid then cancer.
