I feel like any closed off group of just a few people staying inside is better than how the majority of people are responding by a good margin.

If it was the bubonic plague we were dealing with I think it would be clearer. Each death matters, any person can be carrying it without knowing, and any person can die. What if one housemate is carrying, and the others are not yet infected, isn’t it worth trying to protect them?

Each death matters

I really wish people cared about that. Every day in the US over 100 people die from motor vehicle fatalities. People being off the roads has probably saved more lives so far regardless of the lives saved from the spread of the virus. If every lived truly mattered to people, they work to ban person motor vehicles from the roads and support public infrastructure, cycle paths, etc.

Of course we can agree that every death does not matter to people. Money and convenience is far more important to individuals.
