You do not get to decide what impact social isolation has on other people. Months and years of social isolation aren't worth it to prolong the lives of maybe 0.5% of the population.



> You do not get to decide what impact social isolation has on other people.

You're describing skipping a party or two as "social isolation".

You make it sound like they are exiling people remote island-prisons until the end of time.

You don't die if you stay at home on a Saturday night. However, you and your loved ones do die and suffer if you catch a disease and mindlessly spread it.

Stop whining, put on your big boy pants, and stop placing your whimsical desires for a life of party ahead of everyone else's health.


Please stop making random guesses about my life. Thank you. This isn't about me anyway.

> However, you and your loved ones do die and suffer if you catch a disease and mindlessly spread it.

That probability is extremely low.


> Please stop making random guesses about my life.

I'm not second-guessing anything. I'm referring to the facts stated in the article. You would do well to do the same instead of trying to run away from the discussion by going on a tangent with ad-hominens and other fictional grasping at straws.

> That probability is extremely low.

That's extremely ignorant and irresponsible of you to say, but this blend of mindlessness and narcisism and sociopathy does explain why you are hell-bent on fighting for your right to party while other people die all around you.


> That's extremely ignorant and irresponsible of you to say,

Is it? Please tell me more about my friends and family.

> I'm referring to the facts stated in the article.

> mindlessness and narcisism and sociopathy

> you are hell-bent on fighting for your right to party

> other people die all around you.

Where can I find these facts in the article, which is about a university thousands of kilometers from me?
