[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3413612, member: 745"] Comorbidity. Any condition a person has can be a confounding factor that will effect a person's ability to ward off an infection that can lead to death. A common cold could put a person over the top. If a person is weak, suffering from malnutrition, asthmatic, obese, dealing with cancer, suffering from a recent trauma, pregnant, addicted to drugs, or any of many other conditions can die with something that requires a healthy immune system to defeat. Are we all responsible to not infect these people? No. It is up to them to protect themselves. Do we ban peanuts because some people are allergic to them? Ban shellfish because some people are allergic to them? Close all the beaches because some people can't swim? If I decide to take a stroll down the middle of a busy highway, is everyone driving down that highway responsible for my life? Is every driver required to swerve into other traffic to avoid hitting me? No. Only I would be responsible. It's the same for anyone with a condition that would make them susceptible to an early death. It is up to them to protect themselves. It is up to me to find a better, safer place to take a stroll. It is up to those with debilitated health to wear a mask, take their vitamins, medications, exercise, eat right, etc., etc., etc. Woody [/QUOTE]
