Gosh, your whole article is one laugh after another.

That statement I quoted was particularly funny, given that well over a million people a year die of cigarette smoking, many horribly. In fact, some 40% of American deaths are due to lifestyle choices, and many of those deaths could be delayed a long time with fairly minor life changes.

You also don’t seem to realize that the people deciding not to quarantine are not the same people who bear the brunt of the risks. Someone might rationally argue, “I’m perfectly healthy, so why should I care about the hundred million Americans with a pre-existing condition?”

You should try to look at what you wrote from the perspective of someone who is not yourself. In particular, you don’t argue many of your points — you just proclaim them. “I, Kady M., say that people are reallyreallysmart, and you should just accept my word, because I am Kady M.”

Not a good look. Next time, try reasoning, facts, and arguments: you will greatly improve your chances of coming to a correct conclusion.
