This is the right answer - personal responsibility. You have to take responsibility for the decisions you make; if you want to put yourself and your family at greater risk, so be it.

By the same token, you shouldn’t be allowed to put others at greater risk due to your decisions. There are doctors and nurses that have contracted this disease while doing their jobs. If you contract the disease while the medical professionals advised you to stay home and you chose to ignore their advice, take personal responsibility and don’t go to the hospital no matter how bad it gets. Take personal responsibility and don’t increase the medical professionals chances of getting the disease even one iota.

I’m all for it, but make sure you truly live the creed. Don’t change your tune if you’re suddenly the one in need. It’s all about personal responsibility.

Solid logic. Let’s add smokers and people who eat themselves into obesity too.

In the past two months of this shite, this may very well be the dumbest answer and useless form of logic I’ve yet to run across on this board. Obviously you don’t realize that those medical professionals chose to pursue personal responsibility and decided upon a career in healthcare? It’s what THEY have trained & chosen to do. Under your rationale of thinking they would all be unemployed because the greater part of humanity would have exercised such personal responsibility. Hell let’s get rid of the police, fire depts, EMS, sanitation, etc. just think of all the money we could save in taxes alone if we all exhibited personal responsibility. Do you live in the REAL world? People get sick, people have accidents, people have chronic pain and suffering and sometimes it’s due to their own negligence and other times through no fault of their own.
