No matter who you are, if you get infected, you make the entire population less safe, and the longer you avoid infection, the safer the entire population is That's the basic way infectious disease works, and people's romanticized moral intuitions run counter to this harmfully

You get inane machismo like people saying "I'm happy to take the risk to get infected so I can do my job and earn a living", which is total nonsense -- you CANNOT personally "take the risk", any risk you take gets transmitted to the population as a whole
