Before that, an understanding of how viruses spread and reducing your chances of spreading it (meaning, if you're one of the 60-70% of people who show no symptoms) makes the most sense.
Anyone who doesn't take those precautions when they have a cold or common flu is selfish, 'freedom' or not... especially when most people can't afford getting sick and/or could spread it to their kids, etc.

I would hope that we make steps before hospitals are at 200 percent capacity. Can you imagine what that would look like?
