1- Your first sentence implies you stopped being apathetic, which seems to run contrary to your implied point. 2- "if you don't want to get this or spread it..." that's fine, except untrue. If joe super-spreader is running around super-spreading, he's going to get kids. If you think kids suddenly stopped being high-spreading vectors, I don't think you understand children. People are stuck making tough choices (especially in the US) because they have little financial support in order to make spread-minimizing decisions. Blaming anyone who gets sick on stupidity isn't fair. A lot of people are being forced to make choices between going to a job that encourages spreading behavior or going into financial ruin. That said, a vast majority of spread is due to very stupid (or just plain reckless) people making decisions for their community.
