They may be the extreme end of the curve, but if they're getting together in crowds, without any masks, and inviting sick people to come along, they're putting everybody in unnecessary danger.
This is the equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded cinema. In fact, this is the equivalent of igniting a box of matches in a crowded cinema and throwing it onto the balcony.
And this republic locked up Typhoid Mary for decades.

I saw a picture of a protester with a sign showing a mask with a red circle around it and a line through it. The sign said something like 'my body my choice'.
He probably viewed himself as the hero standing up to the Man. I viewed him as the schmuck during the blitz, keeping his lights on at night, saying 'my light, my choice'.

That's exactly it. Fucking ridiculous.

...and the democratically elected government of wartime Britain would have locked that bastard up toot-sweet.

Wouldn't have needed to, his neighbors would have cut his power.

Fascists, the lot of you!

I don't think we understand the scope of the stupid idiots behavior.
Do they really put everyone in measurably more danger?
It is a very small number of people and based on their behavior they probably already all have the virus.
The incremental danger has to be very, very small.
And a good number of them will die and eliminate that part of the threat.

But does he not have a point? It's not like nobody dies in an abortion...Which is where the line comes from, the Pro-choice crowd...

So, here's his presumed argument:
"I believe abortion to be murder, but people are legally allowed to kill the unborn. Therefore, I should be allowed to go out and kill a lot of different people."
I think the Latin term for this type of argument is Shitus Extremis.

No, no he doesn't.
Quarantining sucks. It's a big ask and a huge burden. We're doing it so that more people don't die from a health system that can't handle the number of cases that we would absolutely have if everyone went around acting like the protest crowd.
You seem to be saying that because people are going to die anyway, these asshats should have the right to kill others.

In the case of abortion, the choices of one person kills another person. My body, my choice. Isn't that the same with the virus?

Of course they don't have the right to kill others.
If the curve has been flattened, then we have protected people from health system that can't handle the number of cases that we would absolutely have if everyone went around acting like the protest crowd.
Job done
Mission accomplished
Time to go to the next step
And the next step includes deaths, and the step after that and after that and after that...
