The bigger issue is mandates also signal and educate about risk. If misinformed, it's harder direct resources to vulnerable populations under real risk, i.e. how we spent a year worrying about beaches while workers—many poorer and minority—disproportionately suffered and died.

So it's tempting to say who cares, but when in this context—a year of shutting down outdoor access, ignoring risks to workers while calling them "essential" and blaming the victims while shaming people for safe activities—it matters. If the rest weren't there, yeah who cares.

I'm not really concerned if individuals chose to be more cautious—and we should not judge, and everyone has their own circumstances, none of our business. I'm concerned because we've been shutting down the safest activities for a whole year, and not supporting those at real risk.

Clearer on the news. The key for me is that I’m still seeing all sorts of outdoor stuff being banned and *curfews* around the world. (DC just banned *standing* along with dancing in outdoor weddings if I am reading their order correctly).https://twitter.com/mdaniels5757/status/1389230002043072516 …

The ignored point: there is next to no enforcement of outdoor mask mandates esp. in suburbs as people walk along the street It's a complete bugaboo issue; 99% of people navigate this through social etiquette / norms (i.e. cross the street if not comfortable); not govt edict
-
The most bizarre claim is people need the removal of an not-enforced outdoor mandate as "incentive" for the vaccine...LOL only political Twitter can think of such things. "Well if I get the vaccine, the non-enforced outdoor mandate will go away" literally is how no one thinks

I’m sorry but can we just get to fucking June before we worry about the masks outside????
-
No because we spent a year misinforming people about risk, and the consequences have been dire.

Of course it will change. Why do people feel the need to attack others for being cautious?
-
Because their caution is irrational bordering on pathological and it is significantly retarding our return to normalcy.
