> statewide man hunts for people who sneezed in lifts that they were the only one in

This is why we can't have a reasoned discussion. Use of hyperbole to replace actual good reasons.

"statewide manhunt" is actually more like a missing persons notice.

"sneezing" is actually having COVID.

"in lifts that they were the only one in" is actually leaving mandated quarantine to go spread COVID amongst a non-vaccinated society desperately trying to stop exactly that.

This is a glorified missing person's notice for someone who was being a dick. At the time, not many people were moving about and many had not much to do so yeah, a lot of people may have seen this news item in some form. But it wasn't a statewide manhunt.

EDIT: and instead of reasoned response. A downvote.
