If the act and the risk are not divisible then if the act is taken risk will always be non-zero.
It turns out that you can’t live with non-zero risk. Both completely isolating yourself (the sepsis death of a rationalist but also other risks) and leaving your flat comes with risks.
If the true risk of disability or death were unacceptably high then I am of the opinion that one shouldn’t take that risk without seriously consideration and potential payoffs.
Without engaging in serious consideration you don’t know the true risk anyway. I don’t think anyone here advocates taking actions regarding isolating or not without serious consideration and potential payoffs.
