I believe that the rights of the many need to be put ahead of the rights of the individual. As such, certain industries such as, especially, food production, restaurants, child care/education and health, must be protected /exempt from such excessively liberal and politically correct regulations and decisions that put the lives of many at risk.
Regardless of how the infected people got infected and how unfair life was to them, it is ridiculous to allow them to risk infecting other people, just because of their human rights to work and to fair treatment. Fair should be taken in the context of the environment where these people operate and the risks they could pose to the other people. A tiger may be protected while in the jungle or on a reservation but when running amok in a village, about to kill people, it needs to be captured and removed immediately or, as a last resort it may need to be shot.
In "industries" like the ones above, where there is an increased risk of diseases such as Hepatitis, HIV and other infectious diseases being transmitted to customers or patients, through a more direct contact and contact with utensils that the patients or customers will be in intimate contact with (in their mouths or in their bodies, i.e. through open wounds) should be OBLIGED, leave alone ALLOWED to protect the people they serve against SEVERE health risks from the people they may employ.
If carriers/infected people do not have the moral strength and do not feel they must avoid risks of infecting other people, then why should society not be allowed to protect itself and its members against the risk?
We are experiencing a massive epidemic and if only it were possible, we should have Quarantine not ultra liberal employment gestures reeking of political correctness pushed to the limits.
People who present risks should be encouraged (at first and forced if needed) to move away from environments in which they present increased risks of passing the disease on and move towards plenty of other areas where the risks to the healthy population are far lower.
As such, while I am sorry about the suffering of the plaintiff and my heart goes out to her, I deplore the court’s ruling in her favour and the precedent it has created and my heart also goes out to all those who will be infected by irresponsible people who are infected and still work (protected by laws) in sectors where they should not be working
