I don't want to live in a society that caters to the most selfish and ignorant among us. People get sick, but we don't have to needlessly do so. If you're not worried about it that doesn't mean you should have the right to bring it to other people.

Or you could be a decent human being? Neurotic would be to tell healthy people to wear a mask, or to tell sick people they can't be out in public at all. It's not "neurotic" to expect sick people to put a modicum of effort in for a couple days while they're contagious. And trust me, I guarantee I have a higher risk tolerance than you, but I also have enough empathy to think about other people for a few minutes a day.

It's interesting that you phrase it that way. I'd phrase it as being courteous to other folks. When I'm sick I don't want to make anyone else feel poor for several days. I guess what you see as neurotic, I simply see as kindness.

I don't want to live in a society that caters to psychopathic techbro libertarian risk junkies, but I think it would be fine if you were all given a nice little island where you try to prove that you're the superior civilization before you inevitably Lord of the Flies yourselves. Would be the first Reality TV show I ever watch.

> It's just part of life.

There are lots of things that used to be "just part of life" that public health and societal-wide behavior changes have entirely or nearly eliminated.
