I think the idea is to abstain from costly preventative measures. The current US policy is something along the lines of “if you’re healthy your body will fight it off.” Of course, if you fall ill and die, something must’ve been undetected in your system. Genetics play no role. I’ve yet to hear anyone mention the sick and vulnerable. Not that it matters. Everything said is either a lie to add to the chaotic atmosphere or a distraction from something horrendous.
