Assuming they're not stupid, evil, or politically conservative, the students are probably concerned about the risk of spreading the illness and the attendant harm that could cause, as well as what it could do to themselves.

Perhaps they think those at risk should exercise some responsibility of their own and quarantine at home?

Is it a human right to have a job, venture to the grocery store, and see friends and family?

That's fine. Those students are more than welcome to make choices for themselves. We don't need let them decide for everyone.
