This is exactly how the pandemic should have been handled. Personal risk should have been allowed to be determined by the individual, not the state, at the expense of personal rights.

The obvious flaw is that we know people can be asymptomatic carriers. That means they can put others at risk which violates the personal rights of those individuals.

This also can’t be done without significant testing which still isn’t available 9 weeks after declaring a public health emergency.

If think you at risk then you stay at home. If you force other to stay at home you too violates the personal rights of those individuals.
The Patriot Act violates my personal right to secrecy. Stop lights violate my personal right to cross intersections as I please. And on and on.

Welcome to civilized society, sorry it's such an inconvenience.

Yes, In a society, a right is being uphold because the side who support it, successfully fight and defend it.

You don't have those right because you fail to successfully fight and defend it
