You didn't lock people up for giving your Grandma the flu even though it may have killed her.
That you think you can enforce or shame people into giving up freedom of movement (what's more fundamental then being able to leave your house?) is beyond reasonable or rational.
You could extend this reasoning to all viruses that are deadly to some population of people, including the flu and the regular old cold virus.
Where do you draw the line? Even government officials can't keep to their own policies. Look at Newsom dining out.
"Do as I say. Not as I do" that's the message.
You are free to shut yourself in your basement for the next two years but you can never hope to force other humans inside and shame them into doing so.
It won't work. It's absolutely impractical in a democracy. And if you try to make it work you will do so at great costs.

Fear. What a great motivator.
