Those things arent at all related, plus its not yourself dying that is the issue, but giving it to a loved one who then dies.

OR - and I'm just spitballing here - you could NOT have direct contact with Granny if you're going to be out and about... Crazy thought, I know...
Look - my mother is 76 and has several underlying health issues. I haven't seen her live since March. Instead we use technology to visit and communicate. Why? Because like the IT guy above, even if I were masked up at all times, I could get it and give it to my mother. So instead of hiding in my basement and pretending that will keep me safe, I protect my mother, who is the one at high risk.
I recognize "personal responsibility" has become an archaic term that few, if any, young people seem to fully comprehend, but back in the olden days, we understood that protecting me and mine is one person and one person alones responsibility - mine.

We camped at Keystone Lake State Park, Wyoming. About 1.25 hr. Ride from there to Sturgis. Roughly 30 minutes to Devils Tower. Made our way to DT first thing in the am. No crowds or traffic to speak of. From there to Aladdin, Deadwood, Sturgis, Ending up at Rushmore. The entire day of riding seemed against big numbers of bike traffic or maybe we just got lucky. Fabulous time the three days we were in the area. Ill go back again!

Ah yes, the old "you'll give it to your grandparents and they'll die" defense...

We have a personal responsibility not to spread this disease to anybody, not just your mother.
And seriously, someone who made the choice to go to a gathering like Sturgis in the middle of a pandemic has no business preaching about personal responsibility.

So, you call it lack of common decency simply because he told you to take responsibility for your own actions, and because you judge others who don`t agree with you as people who you are going to blame if you get the virus? How dumb is that?......... Typical liberal f*cked up thinking....

Not "tinfoil" at all...... It`s just common sense, something that you lack sorely.....

I work in a hospital in IT and am very careful at work but just tested positive the other day after testing negative the week prior, symptoms come on fast. It doesn't matter, it will find us all one way or another. Nicest week of weather of the year so figures. Be safe
