What if they take the money and then delete the app? Also if you made quarantine part of testing, I seriously doubt you’d get many people showing up.

Stop telling me things are impossible that *literally happened* in Taiwan, and South Korea, and Vietnam

Yeah it’s not like we have completely different cultures or anything. Say, do everyday sick people (like having a cold) wear masks in those places?

My family is from Taiwan, and I am not here for stupid-ass Orientalist arguments about how Asians are a completely different subspecies of human who take naturally to subservient submission because they're all Borg drones at heart

Why do sick people wear a mask when sick without a government mandate to do so? Comparing a population with that ingrained into its culture with one that puts individualism on a pedestal and stating they would react the same is disingenuous.

Mask-wearing is an extremely recent cultural quirk in Asian cultures in the grand scheme of things, in Taiwan it dates directly back to the first SARS outbreak in 2003

Again, fuck off with your cod-Orientalist takes There was plenty of angst and resentment and conflict over mask-wearing in the 2000s Mask-wearing nonetheless became normalized because people were SCARED

Just like what's happening around us, right now If you have some frozen-in-stone concept of what "American culture" is like and you think it'll just pop back into place entirely unscathed whenever we decide the pandemic is "over" you're gonna be disappointed

I mean at this point I'm really not sure I'll ever stop wearing a mask, at least when doing something like riding the subway, for the rest of my life

Bet you at least $1000 it doesn’t become a widespread thing when this is over.

It'll become a subcultural signaling thing, lots of people will do it, lots of people will get self-righteous about not doing it, it'll be a way to show people what "team" you're on

No they won’t. The Spanish flu proves that. All of this has happened before.

The cultural makeup of the US today doesn’t especially resemble 1919 America. I bet the masks will stay for a portion of the population especially with the evidence that Southern Hemisphere flu was drastically decreased due to mask wearing this year.
