That wasn’t clear to me at all. This is an important distinction because tastes of people we socialize with tend to be more similar to ours than not, and our tastes are rarely representative of the general public. Especially when public health decisions are concerned, some tastes happen to be more impactful, so it is inevitable that some section of the population will be disproportionately pissed when their favorite activities are restricted.
Gun or motor vehicle related hobbies, even having a pet have always been subject to restrictions when it comes to ensuring public safety. Turns out having a pandemic now renders new activities with a higher risk profile, well tough luck, we have to put up with it.
