Well said.

Somebody said his great grandparents died for freedom, so he would
accept no restrictions to his freedom. He might be interested to know
that there are veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the first Gulf War,
who also fought for freedom, who could be killed by his promiscuous
socializing to prove his "freedom".

Each promiscuous socializer has a fanout, as he infects others who
infect others, etc. Sooner or later a node on that tree becomes a
necessary interaction (doctor, druggist, etc) with someone in their 80's
or someone with compromised lung or heart function, and Mr. Freedom has
killed somebody.

I think Mr. Freedom's great grandparents are rolling in their grave
seeing how frivolously and harmfully their descendant spent the freedom
they paid so dearly for.

Yeah, narcissism sounds about right.
