Also… it seems really unreasonable to say “if you can’t handle 10 hours of grueling negotiations about what COVID precautions to take, you’re weak and I need to cut you out of my life and/or take away decisionmaking power from you during times of stress.” I would guess that, uhh, most people are weak by that definition.
To be clear, I do indeed think we have the luxury to exclude most people from our lives. Indeed any rule that doesn’t exclude 90%+ of people from your life to a very large degree seems far too lax to me.
Also, 10 hours really doesn’t seem that much over the course of a pandemic, so I do think the above holds for me. It just seems really really crucial to maintain coordination ability in crises, and this will require some harsh decisions.
