When someone walking by you casually suggests you can do something you might find more pleasant, that is ‘imposing their beliefs on others.’
1. It’s twitter. So yes, saying ‘take your mask off’ (what’s that, command form?) isn’t going to be appreciated. ‘Everybody knows you don’t have to wear a mask’ etc.
2. People don’t like this when it happens, over and over. (So yes, it will look like ‘it’s a small thing’.) Shockingly, people use social media to blow off steam.
and making credible promises pay premium prices in a crisis rather than imposing price controls. The best of all would be to get the masks in place in advance via a Strategic Mask Reserve.
Both is good.
Even better than that, we need a program for true mass production of P100 and other superior masks. When the next crisis hits, there is a good chance N95 is not going to cut it, especially in the most dangerous but essential places.
Can people buy these? In advance, enough to get production to go up?
If something lies, then, yeah, don’t trust it. You might distinguish this from ‘egregious lies’, etc. That said,
Looking at the future, how do we want institutions to operate? Are there ways we can structure efforts to be transparent, or otherwise better than existing stuff (like say, about lying, or catching ‘academic’ fraud faster)? Maybe to find out if something will work better, we’ll have to try it.
