      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 "doves" don't seem to understand or accept this, they treat it like a game or a negotiation, they're always looking for 'loopholes" like this is a social rule based on aesthetics or morals, like the Pope can give you a dispensation

      The rules don't change if your reason for wanting to risk exposure is virtuous rather than selfish Going to church isn't different than going to a bar Having a wholesome cookout in the park isn't different than a sketchy party in a basement

      The "exceptions" we make to social distancing are ones we're literally FORCED TO because people would DIE otherwise, if they couldn't get groceries or go to the pharmacy to buy meds

      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

          I wonder if our use of the term "social distancing" instead of "physical distancing" has contributed to this issue.

          My concern about "physical distancing" is that people would interpret it as "We can hang out socially indoors, just gotta keep distance!" I guess there's no magic incantation, though

          Conservatives are so used to free-riding on liberals’ self-sacrifice (eg rural white people rioting over Obamacare, which taxed productive urban economies to provide *them* w healthcare subsidies) that a situation where that doesn’t work does not compute https://twitter.com/lawnerdbarak/status/1250599503712923649?s=21 …https://twitter.com/lawnerdbarak/status/1250599503712923649 …

          Conservatives have so internalized the dynamic that they’re entitled to free ride on liberals who self-sacrifice for the common good that they literally can’t wrap their heads around a situation where free riders make the sacrifice not work.

          They see it as “scientists” (who count as per se liberals) say we need to Do Social Distancing. Okay, then if liberals say we need to do SD, liberals should do full-lockdown, and thereby earn our society’s quota of SD, and then the rest of us can live as normal.

          I see this bizarre "warrior ethos" from coronadeniers in my social feeds. Like by going out into public, defying lockdowns, they're protecting the ppl who *must* be kept indoors -- the sick, the infirm, the elderly.

          As if the virus wasn't sickening and killing ppl w/no serious preexisting issues, who are young and healthy. The ppl who die all have weakened immune systems, b/c they're not taking vitamins or essential oils or whatever.
