Well, all these people consciously have chosen to fly at the time like this. It was clear that drastic travel disruption is imminent and chance of exposure is high on the plane, and yet they took the risk.

Wow, you're not even considering that each infection in that airport will come back and infect a bunch of people who didn't make the choice to fly?

IE we should not allow people to take risks that are going impact all of society.

The virus has exploded the American myth that we can isolate individual behavior to individual rewards but also this myth means the country is going to seriously suffer.
