I agree COMPLETELY, even though I lean libertarian.
I'm reminded of a young person I had a conversation with yesterday who didn't care as no-one under-30 has died from the disease and they were quite happy to expose themselves to high risks. The point is that the more people that get it (including this under-30 year old), the more at risk the rest of us are. ALL of us. And especially anyone over 60.
If this gets a hold in the villages I see a lot of people not making it through this. And the infection curve is very steep. Look at
Coronavirus Update (Live): 126,673 Cases and 4,641 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer to see what we are up against. Hospitals are going to be overwhelmed very quickly.
If you are good at completely avoiding the flu each year then perhaps you have a chance, otherwise why risk it or why would you want to have someone else take that risk for you??
