Wait, first and foremost age is tied to severe Covid-19 Then overall health, how many other pre-existing conditions and ongoing health issues patients already have. Then there is the dose and the exposure the patient has. These are by far t

no, this is not about empathy but personal autonomy and sovereignity and autocracy. Why not allow someone to do something if they are willing to take the risk, why treat them as criminals? If you believe that you get infected at a store, do
