@Sc0tt CWO beat me to it. That is a clever but irrelevant analogy. My college philosophy professor would have given it an "F". I think what is fundamentally happening, is that the population is again dividing on this issue like it does every other. A large segment of our citizens is frightened, even terrified, and is content to follow orders and hide in their homes. Another large portion, who can do the math, have decided the cure is significantly worse than the potential disease. Most of those have also moved beyond the guilt phase (you will make your grandmother sick) and realize it might make more sense to focus quarantine and isolation efforts on the truly at risk. I am 67 and come down solidly on the side of the latter group. I would also suggest - though I obviously can't prove it - that the latter group is heavily populated by those people who actually make this country work, and/or reside in parts of the nation where a culture of self-reliance has not yet been subsumed by grievance politics and social "equality."
