But that's not for you to decide. We live all together, and someone getting sick from an infectious disease concerns us all.

People who don’t want to get exposed can just continue to stay at home. Sure, they might not like it, but my children don’t like the house arrest either. The difference is that I’m not forcing anything on you, it is you who are forcing things on me.

Yes you are forcing things on people, without noticing it.

You are forcing vulnerable people to stay at home.

No, I’m not, any more than I am, through my driving, forcing people scared of being hit by a car to stay home.
