Imagine if we relied on “personal responsibility” instead of the law to combat other public health issues like drunk driving. No rules--just “you do you”. If you're comfortable driving drunk and wish to take the risk, go ahead and do it--why worry yourself with harming anyone else?

Wait, that doesn't work? Then why do maskless conferences, flights, and events work at a time when we know #COVID19 risks are rising. Don't take personal responsibility; take public responsibility. #WearAMask

The very language is dishonest. It's personal abrogation of responsibility. The policy is simply allowing folks to ignore any responsibility for their impact on others.

"Personal Responsibility" is right up there with Clean Coal" or "Military Intelligence".
