"The NHTSA reports that 13 cars out of every 100,000 are involved in a fatal accident, but motorcycles have a fatality rate of 72 per 100,000." However, there are many more fatalities by cars than motorcycles. Even though motorcycling is more dangerous than operating a car, there are dangers to both. Smoking can cause death, but so can drinking too much water in a short period.
Just pointing out that folks take chances every day. Some eat too much, some drink too much and some cross the street against the light. If you don't wish to get struck by lightening, stay home in your basement when there is a threat of a storm. If you do not wish to become infected, stay home in your basement during a "pandemic."

You will NEVER know if you've infected another person with COVID, the flu, the common cold or any other disease. Such a declarative statement suggests your points are emotion vs logic.
Odds are that we all have infected another person with some disease at some point in our lives.
Any of us CAN infect anyone else with any disease. Thoughtful and respectful people will take precautions to reduce that probability. What those actions are is worthy of debate as you suggest (and I agree with). As a society this is not a novel concept. We have thousands of laws whose primary intent is to protect the many from the actions of the few.
