This here is so important. We have to convince people. The waves of shaming we've seen has often missed its mark (shaming distanced people in beaches and parks!) but even when it does not, and targets risky behavior, it does not work—it just makes people dig in more.https://twitter.com/Quinnae_Moon/status/1274154721549287425 …

We need harm-reduction guidance, realize some confusion is due to failures of messaging (Masks are harmful! Wait, mask refusal is murder! Asymptomatic spread! No! Stay indoors! Actually, no!) and space for people to get their own "tribe" to mask up. Nobody has a magic wand here.

Early on, I argued with many anti-mask experts that masks were not likely to cause more risk-taking because of false sense of security and there was no way for only the sick to wear masks because of how stigma operates. Now, please see the reverse: shaming entrenches opposition.

"Why do you want to be mean to people you don't know?" "What have you stopped doing because people made you shamed or embarrassed vs. what have you stopped doing because you were encouraged or somebody smoothed your path?" We know what works. We like permission to hate.
