i suppose fines could be imposed or liability attached to infecting people

perhaps insurance rates are pushed

lot's of ways to encourage compliance w/ public health

your freedom doesn't extend to the ability to willfully & needlessly infect others

No! It should be voluntary! What are you going to mandate next? Are you going to ban automobiles because people die in accidents?

Many of the responses to this post are a reflection of what is going on now in American society. There are still too many people who are not taking this situation seriously. Their "individual freedoms" are taking precedence over the common good. They don't understand that sometimes sacrifices must be made for the welfare of the nation. It makes me wonder what would have happened if today's self-centered, entitled generation had existed during World War II.

During WWII certain foods and other commodities were rationed and shortages were commonplace. Travel was restricted due to gasoline rationing. Coastal cities had curfews and lights-out orders to make them less of a target for the enemy. Sacrifices were made to ensure the military was well-equipped. Can you imagine all the whining if this had happened to today's society? We would have lost the war.

A pandemic is a serious situation. Ignoring it will not make it go away. It's going to require some inconveniences if we hope to get it under control. Make sacrifices now, and be better off in the future.

Here’s a sobering thing to think about which doesn’t get much attention:

A chief concern is that coronaviruses do not tend to trigger long-lasting immunity. About a quarter of common colds are caused by human coronaviruses, but the immune response fades so rapidly that people can become reinfected the next year.

Researchers at Oxford University recently analysed blood from recovered Covid-19 patients and found that levels of IgG antibodies – those responsible for longer-lasting immunity – rose steeply in the first month of infection but then began to fall again.

Last week, scientists at Rockefeller University in New York found that most people who recovered from Covid-19 without going into hospital did not make many killer antibodies against the virus.

If a vaccine is backed by Bill Gates I refuse to be injected by that poison.
