What About the General Public?

Though we have established in previous blog posts that neither the initial patient nor the authorities pose as logical culprits for the spread of Tuberculosis, we have ignored another important player: the general public. If this blog has presented anything useful, it is that the spread of disease is a complicated issue to pinpoint the exact culprit.
If we really cannot full-heartedly blame neither the infected nor the authorities, could we blame the general public? First of all, let’s define the term “general public.” In this case, let’s use it to encompass not only the active members of society, but even the seemingly innocent and banal bystanders that for this case happen to be experiencing some bad luck and are in the a potentially dangerous situation. Simply put, the term basically encompasses everybody.
Well, this is a fairly large group of people if I do say so myself. Yet, by framing the term “general public,” to encompass such a large group of people, well no one can truly be exempt. Then, by these standards, the culprit must be in the group. Well, one would think.
