People die every day.

Do you still somehow not understand that the people who get infected by doing things that violate these orders don't just hurt themselves? The entire point of doing this is that one infection can lead to thousands down the road if you don't break the links. By violating the orders people aren't only exposing themselves to danger, but people many, many links away, who they probably don't even know.

As has been pointed out ad nauseam, the goal isn't to prevent the 20-year-old from getting sick. It's to prevent him from getting sick and giving it to his girlfriend, who gives it to her mother, who takes it to her mother's nursing home, and kills 40 people, or whatever the exact situation may be (this is only an example, you can insert whatever you want there, from infecting a cashier at the grocery store who then inadvertently infects dozens of random shoppers, etc etc).
