I don't agree.
Do you think other Western govts are doing it for the same reason? Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, France, Etc. Except for Sweden every country is imposing some kind of restrictions on what are ordinairily freedoms enjoyed with in democracies. But you convince yourself that in an extraordinary time and situation govts are using the opportunity to withdraw individual freedoms in order to prepare us for a less free future? Quite a trick.
You are simply a libertarian who wishes to enjoy every freedom to do whatever you want. You can’t. That is not freedom. You choose to ignore the evidence that the virus is damaging and dangerous because you want to believe it to be so. People do not just die there is distinct evidence to indicate people will also suffer long term ill effects but you also ignore this. Your wants are not needs. Your desires are not rights. Your beliefs are not a credo but a selfishness you think we should willingly embrace. That is not society.
