Absolutely cruel and unjust, unless you want to redefine manslaughter’s punishment to perhaps the cost of a couple doctor’s copays. A jury trial would hopefully protect most people by refusing to condemn under such a punitive and anti-social regime. Humans cannot survive if they reduce social interactions to such a naked transactional level. Reminds me of that short story in which, in the future, we all pay each other micro-transactions for the dozens of small IP infringements we commit every day. I’m not saying coronavirus isn’t serious, in case it need be said.
