Earlier this year Governor Ige issued the first “Stay at Home” order, a seemingly temporary situation meant to curb the spread of COVID-19. Now, six months later we find ourselves in the same predicament, with similar orders, without a foreseeable end date. The pandemic has changed the fabric of society. The less-mentioned, though deeply impactful of these changes are the new moral and ethical decisions we face regarding community safety versus individual wellness. Many of us are asking questions like:
Should I see my friends outside to maintain some form of connectiction and wellness, or should I stay completely at home?
Do I see a friend who lives or works in a higher-risk situation because to not would be unjustly penalizing them for something beyond their control?
Do I report people breaking quarantine or social distancing mandates?
How much responsibility must I take on as an individual for my decision-making when the government fails to be accountable?
How morally responsible is it to keep people in an environment where they are unable to protect themselves with the same sense of certainty as others in the community, such as inmates in a correctional facility?
Many of these dilemmas boil down to our conceptions of accountability. How much responsibility do we, as the individual, take on for our decision-making and when should we look to and count on our community and government leaders to hold us to set the standard for accountability?
