Why do you think speeding and drunk driving is illegal? There's a risk/benefit threshold and society has decided that regular driving is below that threshold but drunk and reckless driving is above it. When a pandemic is in effect some of the activities that would be acceptably low-risk in a normal context suddenly become unacceptably high risk.
- FpUser 7y ago"Why do you think speeding and drunk driving is illegal" - so far drunk driving is the leading cause of death for young drivers. I do not see electronic immobilizers installed in the cars by default to prevent those deaths. Care to guess why? As for "suddenly become unacceptably high risk" - it seems that governments do not have much clue and nearly enough info on this particular subject ( COVID )
