Unlike those lazy slobs who request a wheelchair at the airport then literally run out of the terminal after claiming their 2 40# bags of luggage (and i was standing at the carousel right next to someone who did this 4 weeks ago----unbelievable, but that's why they don't have enough staff to push the passengers with legitimate needs to their gates)

Oh? Sick people should be confined? Perhaps in Leper Colonies?

We tried that a few years ago. Didn't work out very well.

You likely live in a Retirement Community. Check with your neighbors, let me know if any of them tell you they're in perfect health.

What does Covid have to do with it?

& I haven't ridden in a gas cart, since the 90's and not planning to start again.

& Starters don't make policy. They implement.
