USA transfer, airport personnel, air flight home, home airport, taxi or friends that picked you up, kids or relatives? then the trip to the doctor's 2 to 3 days later to confirm if you had it.... but before you went to the doctors I would bet that you went grocery shopping and done other errands.... Yes you took a risk or should i say YOU help infect others unwillingly for your few days of vacation time.
But thank god your ok..... I mean screw the others right? cause it was your right to go and have fun!
"So your willing to take a personal risk?"- Obviously the people that traveled are willing to take that risk as is everyone who leaves their house on a daily basis.
"What about everyone else that have to cater to you?" Obviously they are willing to take that risk or they would've opted to stay home and not work. I'll be sure to ask everyone if they would rather us and all the other tourists stay home so they would be out of jobs or if they would rather take the risk. Most people need to work to be able to pay a mortgage, rent, utilities, groceries, etc. Not everyone has the luxury of working from home.
If everyone stayed away from the Cancun until a vaccine is widely available to everyone then guess what...there likely wouldn't be a Desire to go back to. Would it be ideal if everyone could stay inside and never leave their house until a vaccine is available? Yes...but not going to happen. Businesses need income to survive.
Oh and another thing...we still go out in public on a limited basis and choose not to live our lives in complete fear. We also always wear masks and social distance as much as possible.
So I guess I look at it the complete opposite...not screw others...we are helping others stay employed and be able to provide for their families. Everyone in your scenarios is accepting risk. If you choose not to...so be it.
The self-righteousness of some people just blows my mind.
