Who said any of this? No one is immune save those already infected. But not everyone is at grave risk. This is a fact. We *know* who the vulnerable population is. Focus.

Oh fuck you man You know who's vulnerable? Me I'm not in the "most vulnerable" group, but I'm vulnerable, largely because, to be blunt, I'm fat I do not expect the government to give me money anytime soon to enable me to "fully lock down" while everyone else parties

I get it. You're scared. Trying to be delicate here because I don't aim to insult but you realize your ask, right? That healthy people quarantine to protect you from your previous choices (obesity being mostly non-genetic)? This is the definition of moral hazard.

You don't remotely understand what a moral hazard is.

Definition: lack of incentive to guard against risk where one is protected from its consequences. Implication being others shoulder the consequences that you dont have to. Exactly as I stated.

Wrong. A moral hazard is when you are incentivized to increase risk *because* you won't bear costs from it. In this case, going about your life because you aren't the one likely to die of covid. Or when you get bullshitted into thinking you're safe and go back to work anyway.

Or retroactively not bearing the burdens TODAY of actions taken previously knowing there was real downside risk. The perspective shifts as it relates to time but the implications of what is morally hazardous do not.

I don't even know how to respond to that, what exactly are you trying to talk about? You do know that a moral hazard isn't meant to be a threat to morality, right?

Considering that nobody actually predicted COVID-19, specifically, would happen or based their "lifestyle choices" on it he's obviously not talking about COVID-19 specifically but the general principle that fat people are entitled to healthcare

"Moral hazard" is a term from the insurance industry and its most direct application to this situation is the justification for rejecting health insurance applications from fat people by labeling obesity a "pre-existing condition"

On the grounds that it's not fair to "force" thin people to pay for fat people's expensive health problems, and if fat people know they won't be able to get insurance if they're fat it'll motivate them to lose weight This is a very popular opinion among evil shitheads

The part where it's bad for crunching the numbers because "healthy" people have to pay for "unhealthy" people is called adverse selection The part where they worry this may actually increase the level of fatness in the population is what's called moral hazard
