Let’s take a hypothetical scenario of an immune compromised patient who lives in your neighborhood. Do you require everyone on the block to wear a mask/social distance/etc so that person doesn’t get sick or does the individual patient limit their risks and avoid contact with others.
Prior to Covid those people were at risk for many threatening diseases and they were advised to take appropriate precautions. Their friends, family and neighbors weren’t told to take the precautions, the patients were.
