What qualifies as a vulnerable individual? Do they wear a T-shirt saying so, or do we all have to wear masks on the off-hand chance we're near one?
Yes. It's not fucking hard.
No, it's just largely unnecessary. If you want to really protect people DON'T GO OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE. Ever. Stay shut in, it's the only way to be sure.
