The same thing happened with denial of no-brainer condom use during the first year of the AIDs epidemic. Locally and globally. Unfortunately it spread in the blood supply, and bodies of non-consensual populations of all ages "gay and straight." Rules are for you. Nobody's going to tell me what to do. "Its my body." This appears to be human nature when it comes to epidemics. Until its too late. Spanish flu killed 17-100 million? Over 32 million humans have died from AIDS, although over more years. Over 1 million Americans are estimated to have HIV, and it grows in the 10's of thousands every year.

I know I was more sanguine than most on the thread at the outset.. BUT I mask.. I distance. always did.. I do not want to be anyone's vector of death.. I really do not fear Covid nor death for me.. but it is not all about me.. The inconvenience is simply part of my ever ever belief that we are all in this (life) together.. reality shows the powers that be messed up hugely...let this happen.. but we have what we have and need to make do.. .. so let us rise above our petty leaders.. :) We the people :)
