"It's natural that Americans want to get back to normal, and I'm not arguing that we should lock down until no risk remains," Aaron E. Carroll writes. "I'm asking that we think about others more in specific settings. We don't all have to wear a mask all the time, but we could get used to always carrying one. That way, if we are around people who might live with others at high risk, we could mask around them and stand a little farther away. We could cancel our evening plans or miss a concert if we're sick. Is it really that hard to get a flu shot every year?"
