I think if you don't follow the guidelines and get sick with COVID-19 as a direct result, then your health insurance shouldn't cover your hospital costs. Maybe if people knew that they could lose their homes, investments, cars, and anything else of value if they choose unwisely, they might choose a little more wisely.
