Why does everyone suddenly think public health should be the only priority?

[EarlGrayHot]

Because an individual CAN choose what to eat or whether to smoke but is endangered by COVID if you bring it around and has no protection save by wearing masks and practicing social distancing. Your analogy is false. They are in no way the same. If you eat a Big Mac I am not endangered.

I don’t know why this is a a question. Your analogy falls entirely flat. As others have already stated, eating a Big Mac or smoking a pack daily (if no one is constantly around that smoke) only affects and harms yourself. Failing to take public health precautions affects OTHERS.
