Infection isn't assault. Assault is intentional.

they are common sense? The same could be said about masks. I want an actual answer. Why are they not part of freedom. Is it because they infringe on another person's right to life and property?
UltraSUPRA
On purpose.
x65943
so if it's not on purpose you are allowed to hurt people and deprive them of life and property? And that's freedom?
UltraSUPRA
I don't feel sick.

Knowing what we know about COVID, going outside maskless is intentionally infecting people.
Also, lots of people are carriers without showing symptoms. You could have it and not feel sick.

If most people who have it don't know it, and only a small percentage of people will die from it, it's not a big deal.

So can I get an answer. "so if it's not on purpose you are allowed to hurt people and deprive them of life and property? And that's freedom?"
UltraSUPRA
That's one way to phrase "individual liberty above all else".
relauby
I never said most people wouldn't know, I said some would. And it's pretty heartless to dismiss over a quarter of a million people, in your country alone, as "a small percentage"
UltraSUPRA
No price is too great.

so if I follow I can hurt and maim anyone I want as long as it's not on purpose. So I could, for example, get as drunk as I want and drive around town being extra careful. If someone gets in my way, it wasn't on purpose.
UltraSUPRA
If you get drunk or high, anything you do to hurt people is automatically considered intentional.
x65943
so what if I walk around drunk without a mask?
UltraSUPRA
Getting somebody sick isn't assault. Ever.
relauby
That’s completely arbitrary. If I go out during a pandemic while taking no precautions, I’m responsible for hurting people. By your definition, that’s assault.
x65943
so what about when people were charged with assault for giving people HIV and not disclosing their status?
UltraSUPRA
Let me rephrase that. Getting other people sick isn't assault, unless you know you're sick.

So only people with positive covid tests should be mandated to wear masks?
