And it might even be a significant majority . . . but it needs to be an overwhelming majority.
I also like the three sticky messages. I disagree that the majority does them. Masks are generally not worn among contractor work crews, even in cases where the management really does try to make it happen. They are certainly not worn if management is "neutral" or worse on the subject. I have five or six constructions sites I pass each day while walking. I am sure about this. I strongly suspect, but can't prove that in many facilities where teams of people work together to assemble products, pack meat, etc. a similar situation exists.
The majority does social distance most of the time, except when they don't. San Mateo County Health agrees with me on this one. People get complacent or just plain careless. I see it regularly in my neighborhood. See https://www.smchealth.org/health-officer...-statement item #3. You might really like the last sentence in that item.

Is it another case of the government (at all levels) not wanting to tell us something for fear we will react to it in a way they don't want? What if it is true that essentially nobody without a comorbidity in the 20-30 year old age group dies? Maybe those people will completely give up on avoiding infection. I would still like to see the breakdown, but it makes me wonder what possible other reasons could exist that would explain why we don't have it.
