I'm sure glad we got off the topic of spitting. It was beginning to make me queasy with the visuals popping into my mind.
I understand where you're coming from. The obvious problem is since we don't have massive surveillance and chips implanted in us, no one can prove how anyone, young or old, may or may not have been reckless. My 2 young adult kids still need to go to work, DD quite a bit less now as the restaurant business has died off so much. DS is on the kitchen staff at a nursing home. Other than that, they stay home, no socializing at all.
In contrast, SMIL is 79, in extremely poor health, she almost died last year, has one lung, and still insists on going to church every week. FIL is 86, high risk due to his age alone, but also with health problems, and somehow thinks that by him staying home from church that he's going to be OK.

Plenty of people of all ages are just doing what they need to do right now. Go to work, if still required. Get food and other necessities. Necessary care. That's it. Others of all ages will still try to socialize unnecessarily. Businesses are being shuttered to try and prevent a lot of it, but...
