been seeing posts like: “we should stigmatize social interactions that aren’t physically distant”. Please recognize that these statements are easy to make when you’re married living with someone in a nice home. It’s terrifying to see statements like this when you’re living alone

A punitive approach to this isn’t helpful for anybody and you’re far more likely to push this kind of behaviour underground. Stigmatizing doesn’t create growth and I’m concerned to think about the long term implications of this for years to come

Suppose we do make a vaccine next year, suppose it is only 70% effective? Do we admonish interactions to the end of time? Is there a better way? Our energy should be focused on improved methods we can use to further curtail the impact of this virus.
