Important correctionyou are saying decisions made by the environment and decisions made by an individual are clearly two distinct things. All I am asking is how you have made this distinction.
Kindly learn to read, as I have already answered your question several times in language that is accessible at a low reading level.
The distinction is made exactly how the difference between "red" and "orange" is: there is no hard technical, ontological distinction, they are convenient ways to refer to different ranges of the spectrum that differ in a range of ways. That doesn't mean red and orange aren't appreciably different hues and the difference between them is "semantic".
There is just some element in "the world", you model it as a continuous system whenever it is sufficiently defined with some "inside" (the "individual") and some "outside" (the "environment"). It is like asking what separates distinguishes a "car" from the environment, when it is made up of pieces of "the environment" doing different things.
From a thermodynamic perspective it could be "a system that maintains non equilibrium steady state". But there's no hard line to be drawn, similar to how there is no well defined point where the ancestor of the chicken became a chicken. It's just a matter of declaration. That doesn't mean the distinction is "semantic". It's just not discrete.It's really not that complicated of a question, I don't understand why you are avoiding a straight answer, maybe you just don't know.
I have answered you several times in detail, just because you don't like the answer or cannot comprehend written text properly doesn't change anything. -

When did I say I didn't like the answer? Maybe I cannot comprehend your answer, or maybe your answer is just a bunch of babbling bullshit. I said "yes or no is sufficient" so that you wouldn't overcomplicate your answer, of course you had to anyways because you know there is no discrete distinction between the two, it's just a declaration. -

I'm pretty sure you have no idea what "semantic" means. -

and as with masks, I still ain't walking round in public looking a cunt by wearing a fucking surgical mask. I'll take my chances with the virus, prolly gonna catch it sometime anyway. Just fingers crossed they got a respirator for me if I'm needing one.

Surgical mask use isn't to stop acquiring the virus, it is so you don't spread it if you are an asymptomatic carrier.

You're literally the biggest pussy: you are disregarding a public health concern that requires only a tiny inconvenience to manage because you are piss scared of... What other people think of you or some shit. -
