Yes, this is the libertarian viewpoint.
In the rest of the world, we think that in a healthy society, we as individuals sometimes have to sacrifice for the greater good of everyone. In the United States, self-sacrifice is only good if you die killing others in the "service" of your country.
The rest of us see ideas like quarantine not as the sign of a unhealthy and dysfunctional society but proof that we can work together to beat even a fearsome, non-human enemy like a pandemic.
And now these two contrasting ideas are being tested by COVID-19. We'll see in the end whose idea works better - your individualistic views, or our cooperative ones.
