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.
It is just as selfish for me to leave my home to go to work to make money for my family as it is for the hotel employee I may asymptomatically pass it on to also go to work and make money to support their family. I am glad you are in a position to not care about money.
Again, life is inherently a risk and every day is a day closer to death. 99.9% of the country has the medical capacity to help folks if they need it. Between car accidents/distracted driving, drug overdoses, eating like crap, etc...this just adds another risk to the litany of items out there trying to kill you. Weigh your risks and proceed accordingly.
