Honestly its pretty irresponsible. We are in the middle of a pandemic and going out for frivolous things like bagels is what is keeping this thing going.

Putting a blanket statement that going outside to public places as "pretty irresponsible" is not very accurate. If you're going out to restaurants/bars/parties/social gatherings where there are a lot of people who aren't distancing themselves and/or not wearing masks, then yeah you're definitely being irresponsible.

If you are going to a restaurant or cafe and isolating yourself from other people, wearing a mask when you are not eating, and practicing good hygiene (hand san, not touching your face excessively, not touching countertops or tables excessively) you are taking the necessary steps significantly reduce your risk of contracting the virus.

Obviously people should be minimizing their interactions with public spaces and others in their communities. But expecting people to never go outside of their home is the same kind of logic used by crazies who think abstinence actually accomplishes anything. Would people be safer and unwanted pregnancies be avoided if nobody had sex until they got married? Obviously. But that's an extremely lofty and unrealistic expectation, so all you can do is promote being safe. Same thing with this virus. Just use some common sense, practice social distancing and wear a mask.
