I am not sure why people keep bringing up these "science" arguments. If you don't interact with other human beings or animals, you are not going to contract infectious diseases. It's as simple as that. The question we should be asking what is the price for that? How many people out there want to live a longer (no COVID) but miserable (no human contacts) life? Please let's focus our discussion on that instead of resorting to righteous indignation of others.

> How many people out there want to live a longer (no COVID) but miserable (no human contacts) life? Almost everyone does if faced with that choice. But almost nobody is weighing up their own lives against isolation as you have described, deciding they personally would rather die of Covid than spend a lot of time indoors in isolation. The vast majority of people in favour of mingling with others are doing so on the assumption that they themselves almost certainly won't die or suffer long Covid. They weigh up risks of mingling against protecting someone else, usually nobody in particular except some misleading caricatures, which is a much easier decision in favour of taking risks. > no human contacts I have to wonder why people are living to that extreme. Even in the most heavy lockdowns in the UK, it's possible for people to have some human contacts.
