It's cheesy and stupid, but especially when I find things like this that genuinely get under my skin, I try to remind myself to 'be starfleet about it'.

Outside of confiscating children, I think the move here is education campaigns explaining that diseases like this are not common colds and have serious consequences. I don't think a federal campaign like this would be possible given the current state of the government, but I do think it's something to strive for.

Unfortunately, I think we're reaching the point (if we haven't already) where we should be less Starfleet and more Fenris Rangers
