"You shouldn't be so black & white about masks" is weird because we don't say that about seatbelts, parachutes or hard hats

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

Had you asked me yesterday
I would have told you
that I was worried
this summer would be defined
by cases of razor blade throat
and boots stomping on faces,
but if you ask me now
I must tell you
that I am worried
this summer will be defined
by something even worse.

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

Listen, folks, we can usually give advice to prepare you ahead of time for emergencies.
But no one could have predicted 250 MILLION BEES would be loose on a road.
So, stay away. Just…. Don’t go anywhere near them.

I feel like people are collectively forgetting humanity figured out how to deal with deadly pandemics thousands of years ago, based on basic physical facts about our environment and pathogens, without any modern theoretical understanding: quarantine works! Physical separation works! Distance works!
This feels like an absurdly bad-faith attack to me. It's true that there were no studies on *6 feet specifically*, but there is a mountain of evidence showing that social distance reduces COVID transmission.

LOWELL, MA—Doing her best to follow her therapist’s advice for dealing with stressful situations, area woman Holly Debling reportedly reminded herself Tuesday not to catastrophize after she spotted four skeletal horsemen on the horizon. “Okay, Holly, remember: Just because a great trumpet has sounded at the arrival of four unearthly riders, that doesn’t necessarily mean […]
