Would those African rural outposts have been better off if their first-aid volunteers had all been wearing masks and keeping their identities secret?

They would have to believe that they could obscure their actions from their all-seeing, all-knowing god since their motivations were driven by the belief that they were gaining status toward a day of ultimate reckoning.

Those outposts would have been better had the amateurs stayed home.
