What do you think of immunocompromised people and COVID?

Poll - Total Votes: 10
I think immunocompromised people have a right to be safe, and that supersedes my own privileges.
Screw those people. Why should I be slightly inconvenienced so they can survive?
We should round them up in concentration camps for their own protection.

I chose option one since you wrote it the way that you did. Their safety supercedes my privilege. However, it does not supercede my own safety (it is not always about a mere inconvenience). I don't say screw them because they matter.

They will more than likely eventually get sick. They can't hide from it forever. The goal was to slow down the spread and prevent severe cases. They can't control other people, they can do their best to live life as best they can.

I know individuals who had to live in isolation before the pandemic because they had a child with a condition that made them immunocompromised. It's not the ideal way to live but they made the most of it. They did what they needed to do to keep their child alive and healthy. They set boundaries around other people when it came to exposing their child to them in areas that they had domain. This is how I see immunocompromised individuals needing to live their lives, with or without covid. I say this simply because if they focus on what others do they'll end up frustrated. The only thing we have control over is what we do.

@midnightrose I grant that we can't make society perfectly safe for us. I do include the word us in there because while I'm not as likely to die from it as some people, turns out it's pretty easy for me to get it. And the guy I got it from? He had no sense of personal space. Stood literally inches from me for I don't know how long while I was browsing the soda selection at 7-Eleven.
