We accept a certain amount of risk in our lives no matter what we do. You personally had the liberty to go out and infect people who were at risk of death from colds, flu and any many others diseases before covid came along and that was never reason for a global shutdown. Those who don't want to trust others with their lives are welcome to take the precautions that are being asked of everyone at the moment (no household mixing, complete lockdown) the only difference would be it would only be those at risk subjected to the lockdowns.

to a certain extent. hence i am not allowed to infect other people knowingly with HIV. or drive on a sidewalk. or fire guns at a school. or drive drunk. list goes on. not even sure about the flu/colds, presumably that is more a problem of proving guilt rather than liberty. it isn't binary but a fine-tuned probability. i don't see a problem not allowing riskier than usual (i.e. increasing the probability of infection) behavior.
