First, no one is choosing the virus so not a great comparison.
Flip side might be, we don’t pick a lot of things that can randomly happen to harm us given the life we want to live. Why is a virus that much different. Those that want to just keep living as if nothing has changed can, those the see a big risk can then work from home, home school their kids, isolate, interact via a bunch of remote communication tools. The key here then is just what the spill over is—how much danger do the free-wheeling life style put the run-for-the-hills life style at risk?
I think it is an interesting take. One thing I am pretty sure about is that we’re living that old Chinese curse about living in interesting times ;-)

Yeah, that’s true. When someone eats fast food every day and dies of a heart attack it’s not quite as sad as when someone more innocent gets hit by a car.
Life style risk. Perhaps two takes on that.
