” I seriously doubt they’re going to isolate themselves after these parties.”
As far as I’m concerned we still live in the USA. People do NOT need to isolate themselves for anything. I refuse to submit to becoming the land of the enslaved and home of the chickens.
Would you feel the same if instead of an infection fatality rate of <1%, the fatality rate were, say, 90%? In other words, if there were a 90% chance that anyone you infected would die and you had reason to believe you were infected, would you care at all how many people you spread it to? Or would you self-isolate in that case?
