She doesn’t apparently understand that rights refers to society as a whole as well as to the rights of others that you need to consider as well. Situations such as a deadly disease outbreak, or simply a precautionary quarantine as they did for the Apollo astronauts, actually do suspend rights of some people for a time, however, it protects other people’s RIGHTS TO LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

Additionally, yes, there are numerous suspensions of personal liberty, but things go back to normal on a normal basis.

Cops relaxed the curfew after the Boston Bombing, Habeas Corpus was reinstated after the Civil War was finished, etc.

She is focused on what seems inconvenient to her, without considering that in the long run, it’s no big deal, and it is about protecting other people’s rights, even hers if the quarantine allows early detection of symptoms for herself.
