So, you didn't look up the history of Typhoid Mary [0]. "Typhoid" Mary Mallon was so called because she could spread typhoid fever despite not suffering its symptoms. She also refused to stop finding employment as a cook, a choice which killed at least three people and probably dozens more. People did not just tolerate her: they died for her right to do as she wished, including her right to work.
While there are indeed obvious ethical issues about the incarceration of people like Mallon, and we should have a much better legal framework which isn't as intrusive to their rights, the fact is that an inability to enforce social distancing for just this one person caused tallyable fatalities.
Like, you don't think that the ice-cream licker should have been tolerated despite obvious stupidity, right?
