The Tao of Corona Virus Daredevils
Corona virus daredevils are those who:
1. Refuse to wear masks in crowded places
2. Don't keep the recommended six-foot distance
Some reasons that motivate the Daredevils
1. They believe that the masks offer zero protection
2. They believe it is a government hoax
3. They believe that only the old and infirm catch it.
Examining the reasons:
It is a proven fact that the corona virus is transmitted by the cough or the sneeze of an infected person. The mask does serve as a deflector against such droplets. True, some might still get to your nose via the sides but the direct contact cannot be dismissed as worthless.
The government hoax excuse is strange since no reason was provided for it. Also, this isn't limited to one country so the collusion of all world governments seems to be assumed. Also the collusion of the medical professionals sees to be assumed as well. This makes the idea extremely unlikely.
Now, the one which struck me as particularly callous and selfishly cruel was the third reason provided. This reason seems to assume that the lives of the old and infirm are not worth protecting and saving.-so why wear a mask? .
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
