Third, yes, YOLO. Two or more years is a non-negligible percentage of my life. Yourself and/or the government should not be allowed to imprison me against my will and take away years of enjoyment, prosperity, social interactions, and experiences from our collectively limited time on this planet.
Again, you could be an asymptomatic carrier that passes it to someone who then presents with serious symptoms, possibly death. That is not your choice to make, and indeed would be hugely selfish. You are not being imprisoned, you are being asked to stay at home and/or socially distant from others outside your household.
