I’m All For Freedom and Liberty, Except
When your rights encroach upon mine. I have the right to remain healthy and free from you giving me a potentially lethal disease.

The nature of rights and liberty implies a social agreement to protect the individual from the mob. That social agreement always contains boundaries and restrictions. The right of free speech is bound by slander laws. The right to gather is restricted to not impeding the movement of others.
No one has the right to endanger or harm another. That is why we have traffic laws. Yes they restrict our "rights" but in a socially beneficial way and with minimal impact. Thus it is the same with current temporary social interaction restrictions.
I do not understand those who proclaim to be healthy objecting vehemently to simple social distancing. If they are so healthy and immune then they should volunteer to work the food banks and give the at risk people the opportunity to stay home.
Stay safe my friend.
