This is when your personal freedom on an issue should end

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

When it infringes on other’s health and freedom.

A parent sent their child to school after a positive Covid-19 test. More than 80 students may have been exposed, officials say

1. I hope every parent sues that family for full reimbursement of medical expenses

Of course pain and suffering could triple all those.

Decisions have consequences --

If any kid dies from this outbreak, the parents should be charged with depraved indifference to human life. This is no different from AIDS patients --

7. I am genuinely surprised there hasn't been more of this.

Especially now that the vaccine has been available for months.

This sort of negligence has both criminal and civil aspects.

2. These idiots literally make people sick.

They don’t know what personal freedom is.

3. So I guess we can stop it with the peanut butter restrictions now right?

If your kid can bring preventable, potentially lethal diseases to school, then my kid will be having PB&J for lunch

6. Well, this is dumb.

4. It is interesting how when it comes to property rights

right wingers want complete personal freedom. The only function of the government is to protect property rights.

When it comes to personal safety, however, suddenly the government should stay out of it!

9. There is no freedom to infect

But that's what republicans are screaming for.

This isn't like helmets or seat belts, where the risk is mainly just the one making the decisions (not entirely though, due to insurance pools and possible rare risks to rescue workers)

In the case of infectious diseases, these people are making a decision to expose others to possibly lethal risk.

That's not freedom.

That's terrorism.
