We don't need to force people to wear masks, but we can warn them about the dangers of the virus, which is unlike the other seasonal viruses. It seems the pendulum has away from covid fearmongering completely towards other side , pretending that it's OK for millions to be infected with a virus that is not benign. The results and burden on healthcare systems will become more obvious the coming years.
Measures that aren't 100% effective (and thus fail the "controllable" standard) can still have lots of impact.
We could do a lot at the margins to reduce respiratory infections if people just made better decisions (and had a little more support to make better decisions).
