Sorry, but I have a complete different position on this topic. However I respect your opinion.


My opinion doesn't lead to harm to other people, so you'll understand why I don't respect yours. Your right to swing your infected spittle ends where other people's mouths and noses begin.

Don't you have the ability to stay home and avoid breathing near other humans if you're so concerned? I'm confused by that statement. How is demanding reduced freedom for him more just than simply exercising your own?


This isn't about me. I'm not concerned about catching diseases. I'm concerned about acting as a vector for disease spread and mutation.

And no, I'm not a programmer. My job isn't remoteable outside of the occasional paperwork or Zoom meeting. I can't stay home.


Why didn't we let Typhoid Mary roam free and simply tell other people to avoid her if they didn't want to get typhoid fever?

Come on now.
