Given the rather low mortality rate for the flu, I think implementing more regulations in our lives isn't a good idea. Bureaucratic creep is a serious issue, and this sort of thing could be a gateway to regulating more aspects of life down the road.
Educating people and encouraging them to wear masks 100%, but let's not start mandating anything new, or levying new fines that we have already seen be disproportionately used against over policed groups. Studies show that education and awareness works just as well as state intervention.
- Splendor 5y agoThe comment you're replying to never mentioned regulations or any governmental intervention.
- NoSorryCannot 5y agoAh, so, eliminating the flu with internet memes and a McDonald's ad campaign or whatever? There's no scenario where eradication is realistic without involving government.
- Splendor 5y agoI never suggested there was. I understand this is an emotional topic but each reply in this thread seems to be assuming something about the person they're replying to and arguing against something that person never said.
- JoshuaDavid 5y agoOut of curiosity, how do you envision going for full eradication without governmental intervention?
