The risk exists of getting impaled with a piece of rebar falling from a construction site. So how dare you criticize people for stabbing others?

I'm criticizing the decision to shutdown, so we should ban rebar ? ban construction ?

Given that difference between flu and covid is generally known at this time, trying to use flu as analogy is awfully bad faith argument.

The infectiousness and lifeline of this virus is pretty uniquely long, for the record.
Perhaps they are an essential worker, and don't have the option to stay at home?
Perhaps they have medical issues that leave them immunocompromised and may require hospitalization, putting them at a high risk of death from exposure to COVID patients?
Perhaps they are unemployed or at risk of unemployment due to pandemic restrictions, and the irresponsible behavior of people who are too cool to do body weight exercises at home could directly harm them by lengthening the time these restrictions are necessary?
