I think you asked the wrong question. The question should be: “Is it OK for my indifference, carelessness, or selfishness to endanger someone else?”
Do you think that stop signs infringe on your freedom and that it’s OK to run them? Isn’t running a stop sign and causing an accident that takes someone’s life similar to coughing and spraying someone with your C-19 germs? In the case of the stop sign, you could be charged with manslaughter. By trying to maintain your regular activities and ignoring the guidance to cover your face to stop your germs from being sprayed on others, your are being reckless and are endangering others’ lives. You might not be convicted of reckless endangerment, but if someone dies because of your selfishness you HAVE committed manslaughter and are just as guilty as someone who ignores stop signs.
