That's just the thing of it. It's not just your OWN risk, is the
risk of the entire community. And when it comes to that, people
have shown over and over again that they just cannot act like adults.

COVID-19 doesn't care about your political belief system. It
doesn't care whether you grew up in the DDR or Montana. It
doesn't care what color your skin is, what god you pray to, or
who you vote for.
There are no crimes here; it's a matter of public health and
safety. This isn't the first time we've done similar things
in the US, just the first time in living memory.
