Freedom comes with a price and a level of risk.
My wife (an RN) is the Director of Nursing at an assisted living facility.
A good portion of the people in that facility (most of them it seems) prefer their freedom at this late stage of their lives, over hiding and isolation.
They don't want to be locked in their rooms.
They don't hide in their rooms.
They'd rather take the risk of seeing friends and family now, over trying to secure some guarantee of a tomorrow.
Nobody is saying they can't. Nobody.
At the same time, freedom is no excuse for engaging in risky behaviors that hurt others. Freedom comes with responsibility. If it can't be exercised responsibly, it isn't earned or deserved. That's why it can also legally be taken away.
