This afternoon I was passed by a guy on a motorcycle:
Helmet? No. Hair was free in the breeze.
Boots? No. Gym shoes.
Chaps or other PPE for legs? No. Cargo shorts.
Jacket or other PPE for torso and arms? No. T-shirt only.
COVID-19 face mask? Check!
I wondered two things:
What sort of risk analysis about probabilities, outcomes, and mitigation options had to occur for a brain to decide that—of all the bad things that can happen while riding a motorcycle—only the risk of catching the virus while riding the bike (it’s not like he put it on only when he stopped to go into a store)—warranted mitigation measures?
What sort of dive buddy would he be: what gear would he bring, what would he leave home, what precautions would he take, which ones would he ignore?
