Yes, absolutely let's focus on sensible mandates and guidelines, but our job is to provide them and let people be—especially yet. People can understand the new rules/recommendations and just not feel comfortable yet with this or that. Can we hold a hot minute on the judgment?

I've written both for the Atlantic and the BMJ arguing for removing outdoor mask mandates. But that's not the same as saying nobody should or could choose to wear one, or we should be judging them. People may be immunocompromised. Or just not comfortable. Or whatever. Let it go.pic.twitter.com/JAmeNVa0jD

This is why I support simple and credible mandates and guidelines plus information to let people judge *and* a norm that a transition will be slow, and there are sociological processes that govern mandates/rules as well as individual ones for practice: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/04/cdc-outdoor-mask-pandemic/618739/ …pic.twitter.com/Go8xCsMoHa

What about when teachers don’t feel comfortable returning to school so schools can’t fully reopen? Or when parents don’t feel comfortable sending their kids next fall?
-
Yeah, people’s “comfort” may affect certain societal practices more than the guidelines even do. Tricky.

I empathize with those who still feel uncomfortable with the new mask mandates, but there are social costs from adapting too slowly to new COVID guidelines. The solution is to lead with empathy and encouragement, not judgment not to ignore those social costs altogether.
-
Also, from the standpoint of someone who's not in public health but instead is just some random guy, I see a major distinction between "I will treat you kindly and not harrass you" and "I will avoid silently judging you."

Mandates: necessary for community level protection (traffic laws) Guidelines: managing the grey area between community and individual protection (safe driving tips) Individual behavior: dependent on risk tolerance, personal circumstances (how someone actually drives)

where do seatbelt laws fit into this? for me it would fall into bucket #2 or 3, but its currently a mandate (in all places that i know). while the list you have is good, its not black and white.
