" The other dog walker you see on the path, who is terrified of what they think is a disease that has killed 7% of the population[1], will report you and because it's the law you'll be punished even though it makes no sense."

Sorry but this is utter nonsense. The authorities don't have time to track down every citizen-reported non-mask wearer. You are imagining a deep-state dystopia that simply does not exist.

Yes it is really nonsense. No law enforcement is going to issue a fine on some informant's say so. When you drive over the speed limit, do people "report" you? No. As far as "cancel." Frankly, I have no idea what you are talking about. Unless you are a public figure, I would posit there is no such thing.
