Only in America...

In terms of punishment? I don't know if you should be punished for trying to get the virus yourself. But if it is shown you are out in public putting others at risk afterwards? Jail time IMO.

In Canada we had a doctor travel and then go back to work without self isolating, which is mandated. As a result, he had unknowingly contracted COVID and spread it to a lot of his patients, at least one of whom died. I think he should be thrown in jail.
