What do you do if you want to shake down and harass your tenants with vexatious litigation like shakedown with Notice to End Your Tenancy forms? What about if you want to deniably harass and evict a person who does not wear a mask or acceptable face covering, like good little peasant?

The custom of facemask-wearing began in Japan during the early years of the 20th century, when a massive pandemic of influenza killed between 20 and 40 million people around the world—more than died in World War I. There were outbreaks of the disease on every inhabited continent, including Asia (where it devastated India, leading to the deaths of a full 5% of the population).

There is also prior research suggesting that people high on the Dark Triad traits may knowingly and even deliberately put other people’s health at risk, e.g., by engaging in risky sexual behavior and not telling their partner about having HIV or STIs,” Blagov told PsyPost.

“I don’t question the need for a lockdown in March,” said Dr. Martha Fulford, an infectious diseases specialist and chief of medicine for the McMaster University Medical Centre. “But now we have more information. And two months in, we are at a stage where the harm from lockdown is starting to look like it is going to be greater than the harm from COVID.
