The fact is that we're losing 2,000+ a day for the next 60 days and COVID is the leading cause of death in America. Rome is burning. Sorry grocery stores have one-way aisles. You'll have to suck it up.
I’ve never been worried about ‘sucking it up.’ I’ve probably spent as much time in MOPP gear as most people have spent in masks, just on exercises. I’m concerned about what ACTUALLY WORKS. The fact that you have 74% refusing to even cooperate with contact tracers is proof positive that US government AT ALL LEVELS has lost credibility. Whether you blame that on GW, Obama, or the Cheeto-in-Chief really doesn’t matter. The fact of the matter is that government - at every level - spent all its credibility early on. It now has little left to influence events.
Right now the Pres-elect is calling for 100 days of mask wearing:

In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Biden also said that he had spoken to Dr. Anthony Fauci and asked him to stay on as the government’s top infectious disease expert.
Do you truly think that’s many people are going to do that? When three quarters of them won’t even cooperate with contact tracers who have contacted them individually?
I think you’d have a better chance of bringing back Prohibition.
And Fauci? He’s been in there since the Reagan administration. Since 1984. He’s long since spent his credibility.
