so if i can stop the gods from being angry and wiping out the town by throwing you into the volcano, that's the way to go as long as it saves 2 or more people?

also note that you're arguing from false premise. if the disease were that obviously deadly and any of the mitigations actually worked, why do you presume people would need to be compelled to adopt them instead of doing so of their own volition and in their own interest?

you're framing a slanted question that begs the reality.
