Why should our goal be a return to normal? Why not normalize wearing masks during flu season or when you have a cold? Why not mandate payments to let contagious workers stay home rather than spread infection all the time, not just during a pandemic? Why not mandate flu vaccines to attend school or take public service jobs?
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoI don’t think those kind of changes are what they mean. Many of the quotes seem to be expressing reluctance to socialize or be in large groups. Perhaps more importantly, I think “let’s never go back to normal” is catastrophically bad messaging for those kinds of changes. A lot of people are desperate to go back to normal as they understand it; if we tell them “let’s never go back to normal”, they’ll tell us to shove it, even if they would have been fine with masking when you’re sick and excited about mandatory sick leave.
