(Continuation from yesterday)

In China, there is a famous phrase "There are policies on the top and strategies on the bottom".

The original meaning is that "if the country makes a policy, the people have a way to respond to that policy."

However, it is generally used to mean that "regardless of what the government decides, the common people will always come up with a way out."

In system engineering, there are the ideas of "local optimization" and "global optimization".

"Global optimization" means that the individual can accept the disadvantages and the group can obtain the maximum benefit.

Infectious disease control is a typical "global optimization" strategy.

But for most people, everything in a 10 meter radius is everything.

We cannot see "profit" in units such as municipalities or administrative districts or nations. We have only "private interests (local optimization)".

If the nation can make stronger laws that can restrict the rights of individuals, it may be possible to effectively prevent infection.

However, it is also true that our country once made such a law, and as a result, all the people were in "terrible eyes."

Therefore, I have the same feeling that I want to do something just by "requesting self-restraint".

-----

This is just an unjust suspicion.

Governments may expect us to execute voluntary, non-law enforcement sentences, called "lynch"

It is such an insidious "private punishment" that exposes the above-mentioned izakaya bar and ramen shops on SNS and YouTube.
