That sounds fair in theory, but the problem is that people are stupid and sometimes you have to protect them from themselves.
Have you not seen on the corona virus challenge shit out there? People are actually intentionally doing stupid unsafe things to show that they aren't scared. Get multiple types of those people together in the same place, and liquored up, and you have the potential for disaster.
I'm not one for fear-mongering, but I also believe in being cautious and if we as a country have to go to extremes to ensure this shit doesn't spread like it has in Europe, then I'm all for it.
No way am I trusting Joe neighbor to make the right choice.
