In my opinion, it would be fantastic to have a healthy social expectation for an individual to limit their infectiousness while sick, instead of just going to work or school and blatantly spreading the flu. That would prevent a lot of sickness and even death! Having the flu sucks. COVID is similar, but it’s not as easy because it’s not clear when you could be spreading anything. COVID’s a sleeper, and sometimes it spreads with no symptoms. Super dangerous, eh? That’s why it makes sense to extend that first, simpler example so that we can be more cautious as a society towards something which has caused more than three million human beings to be terminated. Not only does it make sense, but I’d argue it’s even the moral option to be cautious until we can be more confident of our society’s combined immunity towards the disease.
