So we hear a lot of "shaming doesn't work," and of past examples of epidemics where shaming didn't work, or was counterproductive, but I'm wondering if this is over-learned like "travel bans don't work." What if the shaming relates to activity that can't easily be concealed?

Shaming doesn’t just work generally (though it doesn’t work well for public health crises), it feeds the polarization that’s a stumbling block to everything. Entrenches people into camps. I wish we had more of the experience of the HIV/AIDS era integrated into our response.

I think the cultural and behavioral success of societies with high public health compliance (especially East and Southeast Asia) is a relevant counterfactual. Basically, shame works where shame already works; the West instead relies on law to enforce behavior changes.

Seems like a tricky balance ... I thought Chris Christie forcing the nurse who treated Ebola patients into a quarantine tent was wrong. Generally good to be skeptical of that kinda thing.
