I am not, It must be very hard, to take away something you love and trained.
Society is asking you to sacrifice a big thing for something that may not benefit society at all. The chances of you catching and then spreading are ~ 1/1000. Assuming a 1% mortality. We are asking 100,000 people to give up something they love to save one loved one.
My own value system is that my enjoyment is not worth 1/100,000 of a person life. I would say in the order of 1/1,000,000. Based upon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALARP is where I get my figure.
I am interested which figure you think is reasonable - 10^5 or 10^6 or between or higher or dismiss the risk entirely ?
