You are free to hole up. Does not mean the rest must do the same. We have already fucked up the economy and health care. This kill people too. Enough already

  In your dreams. In practice our lives are routinely traded for money. Simple example - government would pay for so many heart surgeries per year. Did not fit in current quota - wait. If you die meanwhile - nobody gives a shit. Corporate example - Google "ford pinto trading lives for money".

I have immuno-compromised and elderly family. They have to visit the post office, the passport office, the insurance, etc. Every time they do, people are refusing to wear a simple mask and are putting them at risk. There is always a guy that is obviously ill and is coughing all over the place. Like if you go to a nightclub ill, whatever, everyone is there by choice. But visiting a government establishments is a legal obligation. Why is it that if you go into my house uninvited, fall onto a ditch and break your leg, I could be held responsible, but if I cought at your face on purpose to infect you, noone is at fault. Why is it at least not a social norm to kick out sick and unmasked people from public institutions?

  >"Why is it that if you go into my house uninvited, fall onto a ditch and break your leg, I could be held responsible?" Because we have some really fucked up laws that should not exist. Go argue with the government >"Why is it at least not a social norm to kick out sick and unmasked people from public institutions?" Because The Socium does not want to have this norm. Might be unfair to some but who says the life is. As for your particular case - it is better if we try to build society where we do not need to go to a fucking passport office.
