There's nothing odd about the question at all. And there's nothing unexpected in your answer. I'm just interested to learn how long people believe these precautions and restrictions should continue in attempts to abate a disease which has a very low chance of causing serious symptoms and an even lower chance of leading to death.
It's interesting you should mention typhoid. Without treatment that disease has a mortality rate of somewhere between 20% and 30%. The vast majority of people who contract Covid do not even need any medical treatment, let alone die from it. Rabies is somewhat different. Once symptoms develop it is almost invariably fatal. But more important than that, it cannot be passed from human to human. So if they could walk, it wouldn't really matter if those infected with rabies were out and about.
In short, the two diseases you mention are not in any way comparable.
