I started practicing social distancing years before it was cool
There's a point beyond which you realize you know too much to be compatible with pretty much anybody, it's like that. You realize how screwed we are, while they are pretty much all only aware of their immediate surroundings. I exaggerate a bit but not that much. Ball sports, automobiles, tv news, latest tv show/movie, their job. And that's it, that's pretty much all there's to talk about with 90% of people around you, that's a fact of life.
So at some point you also realize 90% 99.99% of people around you are a sure shot to get into a mildly irritating exchange if not outright trouble for one or both parties
So you leave it at that, stay the fuck away from NPCs, and no I don't know what time it is I'm a tourist I don't even speak your language look at me I'm senegalese look
...
To render matter worse I have no filter now, I can't help it, I speak IRL like I type online, for real
Most of the time it takes people off guard like "uh....." -bsod rest of the time it gets me into trouble/bad reputation (And I try hard not to talk about the jew)
...
So yeah fuck that shit, cops have bigger fishes to frie and unions should be wrestling in the mud with the administration to get proper equipment, like masks and gloves to begin with but I digress
