    Just like with COVID, if people don’t have the good sense to regulate their own behaviors, when it affects the general population, then the state should intervene. During the height of COVID people with serious conditions were turned away from historians hospitals because they were full of infected people that weren’t vaccinated. That, in turn, drove occupancy limits and mask mandates.

        Contagious or not, their personal behaviors are clogging up hospitals. Public education should be a component but they’re already in the middle of a health crisis. Education campaigns take time to create and even more time to fully disseminate throughout the population.
