The problem is that while you may not deal with old people, the same is not true of all of the people that you deal with.
Remember that it takes an average of no more than 6 steps in your social network to get from any person in the USA to any other person in the USA.
- netsharc 7y agoMr. arcticbull has replied elsewhere that then it's the responsibility of that person (whom he might deal with, and would deal with the vulnerable as well) to quarantine themselves. To extrapolate, presumably he wouldn't feel any guilt if that vulnerable person died and he was a vector that got the virus to said person. I wonder what a valid response to this logic is. Maybe: "not all people will be responsible, so it's your duty to be responsible". I guess he'd respond with, "But why should those people be free to enjoy themselves while I'm stuck at home?". In any case, it's interesting how the sense of community has died.
- arcticbull 7y agoI'm genuinely not sure where the balance here should be drawn. The UK is making the case that it's the best thing for the community for all the young folks to get the disease to protect the vulnerable so clearly it's not black and white.
