It's worth noting, though, that all of those rules that you mention involve making political decisions about the trade-offs between life safety and other goals.

Of course compromises are made. They are made based on what we believe are scientific facts and data, as opposed to conspiracy theories, religious beliefs, flat out lies and scams.

We punish actors who display 'a conscious disregard of the probability that the actor's conduct will result in injury to others.'

It's why electricians use GFCI breakers and UL approved connectors instead of duct tape.

It's why check-ins at Stanford Hospital are currently required to wear masks, and people with viral infections have their procedures rescheduled.

etc etc.
