If you don’t want to contract it feel free to make whatever personal decisions you think will prevent it.
Don’t use your fear to control others and prevent them from making their own decisions.
- uoaei 5y agoThe problem with this argument is the slipperiness of the slope. So we shouldn't try to enforce gun laws either, eh? You're either going to have to be more specific, or concede that we live in a society where individual actions have consequences that influence others.

Attending a protest is attending a spreading event which impacts others for example.
