I don't think that the guys who were confirmed to be infected, yet continued walking around the streets as if nothing happened were carrying signs saying "I have Corona Virus".<br />
<br />
They KNEW that they were carriers, and they didn't give a damn about how many others they could infect. Isn't that an irresponsible behavior?

with other illnesses knowingly placIng someone at risk can result in liability. For instance having HIV or herpes and not notifying a partner can result in big settlement lawsuits. Although the 1:1 link as compared to std’s. Infecting someone with HIV<br />

You might be surprised by my response to this... But you shouldn’t be. I have consistently supported freedoms and individual liberty for 11 years on this forum. I believe what I preach. We will 100% certainly disagree, hopefully respectfully. Keep in mind the lynchmob is on your side so my opinions don’t really matter. You will get your way.<br />
<br />
Here goes: I don’t want to lock someone up, arrest someone, throw tracking devices on their ankles or imprison anyone for “walking around” in public. I don’t think he should be locked in his home like a convicted criminal. This is NOT OK WITH ME.<br />
<br />
By leaving our homes we, the healthy, are taking calculated risk. We obviously know this. Chances are there are 5 more infected, yet undocumented, cases in that same grocery store.<br />
<br />
This is all made more interesting by the likelihood that most of us will get this. So this guy, Bob, gets basically imprisoned by the government to put off the inevitable when the rest of us get this?<br />
<br />
Now when he/she is purposely coughing on or spitting on people we have an assault problem and a completely different scenario.

<a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/4862/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="4862" data-username="@Kak">@Kak</a>, this is not meant to be an attack at all, just genuinely curious the limits of your reasoning on this. I am very hands off from the government in general, and have great concerns about the power grab that certainly is happening now.<br />
<br />
What are your proposed limits of the government?<br />
<br />
What about tuberculosis, another highly contagious terrible disease to have. We have been quarantining people for centuries for this illness, and do to this day. Is it ok for people with Tuberculosis to just freely go out into public, knowing that hundreds and or thousands of people will suffer downstream from this person. If they are put into quarantine but break it, we know that it will have a huge human and economic impact. <br />
<br />
What about drunken driving, this is another case of someone though careless regard for the safety of others poses an eminent and mortal threat the the safety and security of others. Why do we pull people over driving drunk? It’s it their right to drive drunk? Just because you can quantify who and what are damaged in drunk driving, does that change anything?<br />
<br />
This is the point, they are knowingly placing others at risk. There are an enormous # of laws and regulations to prevent others from knowingly exposing you to risk. Do you think any regulation or law that limits someone’s ability to knowingly place others in substantial risk, which could be easily avoided, should be abandoned?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your replies, it’s interesting to unpack how people think, helps to relate to others.</div>
