Oh, ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your local pub and you flirt with, oh I don’t know, that cute bartender without healthcare, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world... h/t @nycjayjay
that you don’t take the Lib's warnings too seriously to care about what you do because this is America!

But what you don’t know is that that bartender just came from a gym which refused also to close its doors.
There the bartender took a hot yoga class with 50 other people, some of whom were infected.

You’re also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2009 Swine Flu killed tens of thousands of people.
But that was only stopped by massive testing efforts with a million people tested in the first few weeks. But not this time. This virus showed up in Wuhan, and then in South Korea and Iran and Italy.
Then it crossed the borders and landed in planes and then got into churches and schools and gyms and trickled on down into some tragic pub where you, no doubt, picked it up so you could pass it to your 80 year old grandmother.
That virus represents millions of lives at risk and countless jobs including your own, no doubt, and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the way a virus works when, in fact, you’re acting exactly the way it hopes you will.
