Where does that logic lead? How much control of your life are you willing to give your government for this IDEA of complete safety?


Also haven't people died of COVID during lockdown? A lot of good the lockdown did THEM!

You're not giving anything to the government. The government is nor sitting there rubbing its totalitarian hands at the sight of millions of Americans wearing masks and distancing. The government is trying to keep you alive. You're giving up whatever it is you're giving up to your fellow Americans. You're doing these things so that less of you end up dead or killing your old relatives or whatever.

Have a look at Taiwan and what's possible. There have been hundreds of thousands of absolutely needless deaths in America because people won't do what they're told and because some criminally idiot politicians were telling them to do the opposite anyway. Ask yourself who is freer right now, the Taiwanese who brought in universal mask wearing and distancing and so on and dealt with it in five minutes and have been living a normal life pretty much since April or Americans right now?

Maybe the people who run public health in America know alittle bit more than the collection of absolute morons who think they know better?

Also the suicide rate in America didn't budge in 2020. Doubtless lots of people have been affected in various ways but again the public health people are aware of all this and take it all into account.

And the wider poing in the thread about where it came from. There is unanimity among public health experts that it came from bats originally and to humans via another species that got it from bats. It didn't come from the Chinese government, who sorted their virus problem out with stricter measures than even Taiwan. You can read all about this yourselves and discover all the information you need to be informed. There are these things called newspapers.
