You say "Nobody is suggesting people with covid or any other virus should go round everywhere coughing over people and making everyone else ill". Well, this guy is:

OK so, there are other points which need addressing first:
- does Covid still represent a serious danger? Have they been vaccinated? What are the effects of anti virals?
- how does this compare with the danger of them catching another virus such as cold, flu, noro, measles, ebola, etc from someone else?
- are the measures in place for covid proportionate to the risk to them, with the preventions and treatments on offer, and to other viruses of similar risk to them?
- are there any other measures you could put in place?
What happened to these people before covid anyway?
As for that guy, he's saying should they if they're not ill and test positive? So that test could be a false positive. Presence of a virus' RNA in a sample taken to run a PCR or LFT on doesn't make that person infectious to others does it?
