Unless the effectiveness of your measures is actually 100% or nearly so, the number of people doing it matters a whole lot

No NPI is close to "100% or nearly so". None. So....

So any measures we do pass need to be as close to universial as possible, and any messaging that any group of people is immune or "doesn't need to worry" is deeply irresponsible

Who said any of this? No one is immune save those already infected. But not everyone is at grave risk. This is a fact. We *know* who the vulnerable population is. Focus.

Oh fuck you man You know who's vulnerable? Me I'm not in the "most vulnerable" group, but I'm vulnerable, largely because, to be blunt, I'm fat I do not expect the government to give me money anytime soon to enable me to "fully lock down" while everyone else parties

I get it. You're scared. Trying to be delicate here because I don't aim to insult but you realize your ask, right? That healthy people quarantine to protect you from your previous choices (obesity being mostly non-genetic)? This is the definition of moral hazard.

The incredible, shocking hypocrisy of saying that universal lockdown can't continue, it's impossible to maintain, we just can't do it, and then saying that anyone who's actually worried about their health can just *decide* to self-isolate Fucking goddamn pricks

To the extent that lockdowns work they work BECAUSE they are universal They work because EVERYONE is following the rules, so one person's slip-up here and there has a reduced impact And because the social pressure of everyone doing it makes the "good choices" easier

The libertarian solution of "Everyone just decides their own acceptable risk profile and modifies their behavior accordingly" is fucking idiotic It's the equivalent of saying we don't need speed limits -- if you're worried about an accident, just drive slower than everyone else
