> The way to do that would be via social pressure (like in Asian countries)

Except that its not really a pressure, but a social contract.

'I am sick so the least i can do is wear a mask while outside to protect others. So others do the same.'

Win-win.

One of the mechanisms of social contracts is pressure. Is this a radical idea? A few individuals always have a different perspective on any deal, and the majority will need a way to enforce the look and feel of community lifestyle.

Such as an agreement for racial harmony.
