Why should I concern myself if others get sick?

I do not think I know more about viral infections that Fauci. That would be absurd, he's spent his life studying viruses. But I also believe he is a political, big pharma pawn trying to walk a line that does not make him a good source of information. You can't always trust smart knowledgeable people to be completely honest, especially public figures. I consult family and friends who are in the medical community or my personal physician when I need medical advice and I trust them. I'm less trusting of a government employee who lives 3000 miles away from me.

So basically: I acknowledge that he knows more than me, but he says things I don't like so I discard his opinions. The big-pharma pawn for all those companies that have agreed to sell a vaccine at-cost.

I am not sure your local GP is good advice for pandemic response, no? Seems like a non-sequitur.

I don't understand your end game here. Let's say every place that hits 30% seroprevalance does show robust herd immunity. Many metro areas in the USA and around the world are far from that. Should we just open up and accept thousands more deaths? Should we have strict travel restrictions to shelter cities that haven't been hit yet? Every place that you say has hit herd immunity has seen a lot of excess deaths. People are working around the clock studying this stuff, knowing that making the wrong decision can lead to a ton of deaths. Look at what happened in the USA when people re-opened too quickly.

Or is it just all faked?

You ask a cigarette smoker to leave? How can you deny his right to smoke? He has no obligation to care about your health.

Yes I would look at all options. You ignore how I said I would walk away. But there is no harm in me asking him to leave aswell. Because if he is afraid of confrontation he will. No risk to me in asking because I can walk away.

So suppose you ask a smoker to leave. He punches you, and you are left unconscious on the ground. You will eventually wake up and call 911. Until then no one should help you, right? The only problem is that your body might obstruct traffic.

The lengths you go. I assume the risk in any social interaction. I can get hit by a car if I cross the road. I could get punched by somebody if I talk to them. All assumed risks of being out in public.

You asked a question and many have answered with reasonable arguments. Your answer over and over is "So what? Why should I care?". You are a sociopath and have almost no ability to care for others. This is not said to be hateful or mean, it is a conclusion drawn from your statements.

Imagine if you asked the smoker to leave and he was a true psychopath with absolutely no conscience and didn't like the way you talked, acted, looked. He gets out a baseball bat and beats you senseless, breaks both knees beyond repair so you never walk again without a limp, permanently lose cognitive ability (more than now). Anyone who witnesses this is just like you and they say "Well, he shouldn't have asked that smoker to leave so he had it coming." Then they refuse to speak to police and the Louisville Slugger walks away with zero consequences. You are stuck with hospital bills that bankrupt you and you can't even work the kind of jobs you were previously able to do. Your so called family and friends say "You brought this on yourself, take some personal responsibility." and refuse to give any help whatsoever, even to pick you up from the hospital. The state declares you are perfectly fit because you were once a runner, insurance refuses to pay bills, you end up homeless and in constant pain and have the cognitive ability of a child.

Still want to live in a society where no one cares about the plight of others?

I know, I know. "But why should I care?"

Like I said before by going out in public I assume the risk of such an encounter. If I see the person could pose any kind of a threat I don’t ask them and I would just leave. This violent scenario happens in society today. You don’t need some hypothetical world. This is why you should always be prepared to protect yourself. Personal responsibility.

There has still not been a lucid or logical argument on why I should be concerned for others getting sick. Especially if they choose to go into public themselves. I will protect myself and if others don’t protect themselves that is their problem.

We used to leave people out in the snow. Sounds like you yearn for the good old days. Till it's your turn.

You shouldn't. Hell, who cares? For this reason there shouldn't be hospitals. If you have an accident and break a leg, learn to set it yourself.

Miss L. Kitty - Are you either Mr. or Mrs. Donald Trump? I don't think they don't believe in being concerned about other people too.

Only a psychopath would pose such a question

What percentage of psychopaths know they are psychopaths?
