Haircuts. People have their hands in your hair along with instruments that carry the virus as well. That's a good rule. The distancing was not made up by bureaucrats. It was a consensus formed by scientists including medical doctors in the field of Virology. It's a reasonable test not a mathematical certainty. I'm positive you know that.
Long term quarantine restriction are akin to using a sledgehammer as a flyswatter from an objective cost/benefit pov. IMO, of course.
We’ve had virus epidemics in this country before. This one is looking like a mortality rate of under 1%, and far less if one is not in the ‘vulnerable’ group. You don’t shut everything down for months for that. Negative ripple effects of such an overreaction have devastating consequences, too.
