Nice, holding me accountable for a virus. Sickness is not my responsibility. It just happens. I'm not going to rant on someone who infected me with a super easily spreadable disease, such as the yearly flu, and now the yearly covid. that would be insane. It's just nature, man, calm down. And of course the sick do deserve care.

You are being irrational about this.



On the countrary, I'm being very rational about this.

Social healthcare (at least where I am from) is created and paid for by society as a whole. It is provided to all given we follow the set rules. Which have been that we pay our fair due to run it.

Now we have extra rules ontop of that to help keep the healthcare system from buckling under the enormous strain it is experiencing.

And you are deciding that you will personally not follow those rules, and potentially help spread both a disease that might directly kill someone, or keep a person from being able to seek medical aid due to the strain this disease places on the system as a whole.

Which to me clearly invalidates any privilages you might thing you are entitled to from the social system.
