    Quoted from Pin_Guy:

    CONTENT WARNING:
    What the hell ever happened to personal responsibility?
    How about we just let the government notify us of certain risks and then make our own personal decisions to accept the risks or heed the warnings? How about if we make poor life decisions ... we accept personal responsibility for these decisions along with the consequences of those decisions without expecting aid from anyone to alleviate the pain of those decisions?

    The issue with this situation is very different than most others. If you decide to drive a car without wearing a seat belt you are not putting others at risk (just yourself), if you go boating and don't wear a life preserver (you are no risk to others), ride your motorcycle without a helmet (same deal). But with the Coronavirus if you don't take precautions you are putting others at risk - not yourself.

    Sadly 30% of Americans (or maybe more) have not done their "homework" and don't fully understand just how serious this virus is. We will have over 100,000 people dead in less than three months and likely between a 500,000 and a million dead before the end of this year if people keep doing "stupid". One careless person can spread this virus to dozens of people in a matter of a day or two. Those dozens of people can spread it to hundreds within a week. And those hundreds of people can spread it to thousands (or even tens of thousands) within a couple weeks. And this can all happen before anyone ever realizes they are sick. SCARY STUFF if you take a little time to fully understand this virus.

    This is like a bunch of people getting so drunk they can't walk then having them each drive home on a busy Interstate. This isn't driving home without a seat belt!
