Historically the next step is to get some cartoon characters up on screen to help get the kids to shame their parents into compliance.

I expect those with children are more aware of how risks to them translate into risks to others.  I would suspect those without children (including teenagers, who often resist authority) are more likely to eschew masks.

While I honestly don't wish COVID-19 on anyone, if one of the major political figures got sick, was put on a respirator, and died, I wonder if that would be the kick in the pants that many people need.   Maybe it really would take a sports figure or some other celebrity (outside of the political realm) to go through that.
