Ultimately the rubber meets the road with that kind of thinking because it ends up being impractical. If people continue down this road, then they are inviting all of the consequences they're trying to avoid. Not everyone will feel the same way, and whether there's government mandated restrictions or not, if those who are more socially responsible will likely continue to curb their activities and spending. So if you favor a continued extension of the economic malaise, that "freedom of choice" is the likely consequence.
If people continue down that road the death rate will continue to fall as the immune systems correct the problem. If you continue giving up individual freedoms you make our country no different than others around the world with massive gov't nanny state policies
