So when the rights of two individuals conflict, I guess you'd say the correct way to deal with it is not with a criminal charge, but for me to sue the other person? Do you think the American system would rule in favor of people who caught Covid if they sue people who went out in public without taking precautions? Do you think that's a realistic way of having one's rights made whole? How do I sue a class of individuals?
Furthermore, do you really think this is a plausible way of managing disease outbreaks, which affect large populations in aggregate and not just single individuals? Systems like private insurance don't work if all the individual risks are correlated.

Under the original framing, anything not specifically mentioned by the Constitution was delegated to the individual states to decide. It wasn't until after the civil war that the amendments to the Constitution itself applied to the individual states.
