What about your social responsibility to avoid getting it so others won't catch it from you?
I don't think it's my social responsibility to avoid getting it. Once I have it, it may be a social responsibility to avoid spreading it around, however. In that case, I'm fine with self-quarantine and wearing a handkerchief.
Ah, but they'll remind you that there is a relatively long incubation period during which you're infectious. So your social responsibility to avoid spreading it starts by avoiding coming into contact with it in the first place.
I honestly think that's a fair argument to make. But followed up with: the impossibly rapidly developed (by Israel) vaccine has no adverse affects, just trust us! -- then it becomes a little more dubious.

That sounds like some 'thought crime' bullshit to me. One of my parents forwarded to me that scam text about how national quarantine was coming by order of the president (srsly u guys!). I mentioned how it violated a number of the fundamental amendments for denying life, liberty, and access to property and that my 2A would be there to back up the violated amendments if someone tried to put me on house arrest without due process. Hell, they won't even run the test on people without them showing basically all of the symptoms to verify it's CoVid-19 because the kit stock is insufficient.
