Both of those are illegal yet still happen every day. Were you hiding under your bed refusing to go work before all this over that risk to your health?

Sir I must say. That argument is ridiculous. Your are in fact stating that any attempt to curtail preventable harm due to negligence is in fact an attack on freedom. There are arguments you could use here that would carry weight if they were reasonable. But what your saying is that because people commit crimes in spite of them being illegal that we should not try to prevent them. If I told you that rape, murder and theft were made legal starting tomorrow would you go about your next week as normal or would you react to an increased level of threat. Or do you believe that everyone who would commit those crimes is already doing so and we would not see any rise in those activities? You are using a fallacy to try and prove a point. Use another method that doesn't make you look like a strawman.
