> Should we tell people to get their BMI under 25 too?
Overweight people can't transmit their overweightness to me through a virus or bacterium that they breathe into the air.
If they could, then yeah, we'd probably have some kind of legal mandate on it. Just like we have a bunch of restrictions on smoking now, because indeed, that's something that you push into the air.
The general rule is that your rights stop where others begin. Most issues of health are purely personal, but infectious diseases are not. Because they're infectious.
