No worries. While I can not speak for others, I am 1. not afraid of needing medical treatment, and 2. if I did, I am willing to not accept any life prolonging measures. The things I have heard from people in the past few months saying to each other, dropping democratic freedoms left and right, gives no real reason to want and stay on this planet. If it hits, it hits. I can manage dying, I have managed living for 40 years in this society. Question is, can you life with the comment you just wrote?

I took your comment through to the logical conclusion of what you're suggesting, which is personal freedom and responsibility to not take precautions but that being linked with getting deprioritized if you then need a respirator or a bed compared to someone who did take precautions, you should then be lower on that list, because of the consequences you said you'd rather live with. Kind of idiotic, right? But hey if that's how you'd rather die, maybe do that in the woods than taking a whole cluster of people with you as an asymptomatic carrier.
You're such a sweet and kind individual. Again, no worries, my social interactions have been put to such a minimum that me dying in my flat will effectively be the same as me dying out there in the woods as you'd like it to be.
