If you don’t follow the guidelines because you “don’t wanna” and then transmit the virus causing someone’s death, should you be charged with manslaughter or wrongful death? A little extreme but hopefully, you get the analogy.
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.
