To answer this in good faith: no. When we “go back to normal” during a surge, you are not extending courtesy and support to high risk people. You are cancelling their surgeries, preventing their medical care, halting their careers. You are sacrificing their lives for yours.

Part of a social contract is that we make equitable sacrifices to preserve the safety of the state for all. Your comforts are not an equal sacrifice to my actual physical safety. This is why we have indoor smoking laws, leash laws, among other things.
To answer in slightly less good faith terms, politely killing someone is still killing them.
In my honest opinion we’re one surge away from thoughtful moderates just suggesting if we got rid of all the high risk people, we could have so many more fun parties.
