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

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 …

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.
