No, I want people to act in a manner that reduces transmission while balancing our desire for a return to "normal" and healthier life. And part of knowing how to act to minimize transmission is having an understanding of why such interventions are being suggested. Taking interventions when not necessary could suggest that there is insufficient messaging regarding the underlying rationale for those interventions.

As an example, I still see people over 17 months into the pandemic walking outdoors with a mask on who will stop, take off their mask, sneeze into their hands, then put their mask back on (touching their face and the body of the mask in the process). This combination of behavior is incoherent.

Some people might refuse to go on walks outside because they're fearful of outdoor transmission, despite it being exceedingly rare if not entirely undocumented that someone catch covid from simply passing another on the sidewalk. And more walking is the number one activity people should be doing to improve their health.
