Yeah, at the time I assumed that the people intentionally spreading in game were just trolling because there was no actual danger to themselves. Reality proved that tons of people are fine with harming themselves as long as they harm others at the same time.

Or the miraculous assumption that surely I won't become infected, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna be safe for other people!

nah. There's some footage out there of people going maskless and when pressured to put masks on for their safety, they proudly proclaimed that they currently have it, so they can't get infected again. This ignores the fact that you can catch different strains and you probably aren't going to double the severity of your symptoms from having two infections. Infection duration on the other hand might be doubled. Turns out selfish people are very, very often stupid people.

This is why the literal only thing that would work is making it legal to shoot people who are unmasked if they're coughing (which is insane, but insane is the baseline I guess)

If I start following rules now I'll break my streak!
