> I happen to be single, and at the moment, where I'm living, if I have a date with someone, I could technically be fined $1500 And well you should be, you selfish person. This is about keeping it from spreading to people who are in a high risk group. How hard is that to understand? Think for others, for a change, not just yourself.

How many lives could you have saved if you lived in a much smaller apartment, had no personal belongings, volunteered on top of your full-time job, and gave all your savings away to charity? Think of others, for a change, not just yourself.

  Is the argument you really want to use "two wrongs make a right"? Sure, society is exploitative all the way down: but, you can always choose to be less exploitative like... not doing selfish things that very very directly impact the actual life and death of other people, maybe?

    He's saying I'm selfish for being upset that my freedom to meet people as I please is being restricted, for thinking of my own mental health and wanting to see people anyway. I'm responding that we're all concerned with our own well being. We live in a society where some people earn more than others. It's selfish to accept to get paid more. It's selfish to have a big apartment when there are homeless people out there, etc. You could be giving more money away and spending more time volunteering... But if you volunteered on top of your full-time job and gave all your money away, you might burn out, get into a depression, etc. There's some selfless sacrifices that you're not willing to make. Does that make you selfish? Is that bad?

      > There's some selfless sacrifices that you're not willing to make. So, if I got it right, you're saying that your sex life is something you can't temporarily sacrifice to slow the spread of a potentially fatal disease. You make me sick. All the rest of your comments are just whataboutism. The world is full of moral wrongs, so your argument is that we should let it descend into a feeding frenzy. I shouldn't tell people they're acting selfishly if I've ever stepped on an ant. Completely absurd. Look in a mirror, bud.
