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.
You're drifting away from the statement to which I initially responded but I'll answer anyway.

In your new hypothetical the immune compromised individual(s) should adjust their actions to limit exposure. What if those were the grandparents you referenced?

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.

You seriously never took precautions around vulnerable people with health conditions? Am I the first person to tell you that you should?

I’m not really sure I follow your logic here, and I’m not trying to be ‘douchey’ either. This COVID pandemic was the first time in history that we have ever quarantined/isolated healthy people. Healthy people are not the vectors of transmission of a respiratory virus. In order for a respiratory virus to be contagious, you need enough viral load in your system. And if you have that viral load, you WILL have symptoms. That is basic physiology. That whole ruse of ‘asymptomatic transmission’ is a complete farce. But thats a topic for another discussion. My point is that the sickly and vulnerable populations need to be the one’s quarantining and isolating, not restricting the movements/lives of normal healthy people. Call me selfish or callous, but I’m not willing to live in some utopian society where we need to do a variety of things “for the greater good”. Do a risk assessment, determine which ones you are willing to accept for yourself and then live your life.
