Of course there’s the issue of property damage by running into a wall. I was using it as a rough metaphor comparing actions that only affect oneself vs. those that cause harm to others. Even driving alone in a car off a cliff or bridge will “cost” society something for removal.

The point was the immorality of knowingly and intentionally exposing unwilling people to potential illness and death. Spraying virions instead of bullets. No one has the right to do that to another person.
