For most of recorded history, people lived alongside death. Why does our hubris tell us we can live differently. We can't. It will find us at the appointed time. We only have so many days in life. They are precious. I know from experience. If my actions kill me, so be it.

If you're asymptomatic, your actions may end up killing others.

"People with no symptoms transmit more than half of all cases of the novel coronavirus, according to a model developed by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Their findings reinforce the importance of following the agency’s guidelines: Regardless of whether you feel ill, wear a mask, wash your hands, stay socially distant and get a coronavirus test. That advice has been a constant refrain in a pandemic responsible for more than 350,000 deaths in the United States.
Fifty-nine percent of all transmission came from people without symptoms, under the model’s baseline scenario. That includes 35 percent of new cases from people who infect others before they show symptoms and 24 percent that come from people who never develop symptoms at all."
