Telling people to not ever have sex is different from telling people to not meet in large groups during an acute and temporary pandemic. Especially when you only forbid sex for a subset of the population while the remainder of the population is allowed to have sex. The group ban on the other hand is mostly unrestricted and thus more fair.
No, that's the strategy for lower-caste straight people. Telling them that leads to socioeconomically capturing a large percentage of them by burdening them with children before they can hit early potential.
Right. Abstinence doesn't really work in the real world, only in the spherical-cow world where humans are perfectly obedient.
Isn't that a tacit argument against stay-at-home orders?
Yeah, I'm persuaded by the Julia Marcus school of thought that simply ordering people to stay home is important but not nearly enough. You have to provide ways for people to reduce their risk in case they decide not to listen to your orders.
I personally stay home as much as I can, but I have certain privileges many others don't.
