health demands. And because we’re not out here just following rules for the sake of following rules. We’re out here living in a society. Sure, there’s no law that says that you can’t cut people in line or that you should flush the toilet at the coffeeshop after you’ve used it. But if you regularly cut people in line and failed to flush public toilets, you’d be a shitty member of a community and your actions would cause other people to feel angry and stressed.
The thing about sheltering in place, social distancing, wearing masks, washing our hands a lot—all the things we’re doing to protect ourselves and others from coronavirus—is that they are most effective if pretty much everyone is following those protocols. Sure, you canabide by those norms even if you have every tool at your disposal to make following them actually doable and feasible.
In other words, wearing masks is good for social solidarity around preventing transmission, which in turn could also be good for public health. Even if you run at dawn every day and usually don’t run into another damn soul, throwing on a mask means that the local weirdo who wanders outside at around 5 a.m. to take out the trash doesn’t have to worry as much when you jog past.
This pandemic has required that we all make sacrifices. And some of us—health care workers, people who deliver packages, grocery store employees, postal workers, any essential worker—are making the biggest ones. Wearing a mask while you run might suck—it might even mean that you can’t really do your usual workout—but in the grand scheme of this pandemic, it seems like a small sacrifice that’s very worth it.
