Exactly. Exchanging pathogens is the default. Anyone wanting to isolate has every liberty to do so, but no one owes him anything other than leaving him alone.

About protecting yourself and your health: I am always baffled when I read news like: "allergic to peanut ordered food in xy place and got contaminated by peanut died due to shock"

If I would be so allergic to peanut that I could die due to contamination I would prepare ALL of my food with my 2 hands and would be tightly wrapped and proof sealed until consumed... but as you said people expect a random low waged kitchen worker to be more worried about their health than themselves. Because he/she announced at the counter that "I am allergic to peanut"

During pandemic I have argued with my family that people like to force mandates on others which ones they like! But sooner or later will come a mandate the enforcer will not like and then what?! Obviously frozen face and excuses "but but but we are in an exceptional pandemic blablabla"

Exactly. Modern Barbarian here on substack says something similar to that point: (not word for word) that most of us all want a tyranny we can agree with. That’s a sad realization

Also forgot to comment about how you shouldn't trust others protecting you as you pointed out. Since the beginning of pandemic I have ordered a fake mask from fakemask.com (or similar) website which one was just a black mesh of nothing. You can breath as wearing nothing. Still everybody was very happy around me... You shouldn't trust anybody and definitely not with your health if you are concerned.
