Right. Because it’s totally stupid to lock up healthy people. We should quarantine elderly/unhealthy and get on with our lives!![/quote]

With a disease that allows asymptomatic people to be contagious, you can't know who's healthy.  Getting on with your lives may mean ending somebody else's.  Not only does it put at risk every single person you come into contact, but every person they come into contact with as well.

But of course, it's "totally stupid" to consider somebody else's survival to be as important as not disrupting your preferred activities.

I'd like to know, if you do get sick, getting on with your lives, are you going to fend for yourself, or are you going to seek medical help, endangering medical personnel and taking care/resources away from other people who may have gotten sick despite doing whatever they could to avoid the disease?[/quote]

No. I pay outrageous health insurance premiums to subsidize all the people that would be uninsurable without a group plan (aka all the high risk people for covid.) So on the off chance I need health care I will definitely be taking it. [/quote]

Gee, I thought my health insurance was expensive, but I guess I've got a bargain, because I know my premiums aren't enough to buy even one person's life, let alone an unknown number.  What's the going rate for a life?[/quote]

Reading comprehension fail.

I was simply saying I pay for my own healthcare and subsidize others, so I won’t hesitate to get care if I do need it. [/quote]
