You see no reason? I'll give you one:
In most jurisdictions, if your employer lays you off or closes their doors, you can apply for some kind of benefits, e.g. EI up here in Canada.
But if you quit your job on principle, you don't get benefits and have to live on whatever savings you've amassed working a retail job.
It seems you believe that everything should remain open, everyone should keep going to work, and hey, if you don't like it, quit your job and stay home.
That is not how a society gets through a pandemic, no way, no how. If you were in charge, millions of people would die. But they'd "Have their freedom to choose for themselves." So there's that.
- ceilingcorner 7y agoSure, this is a legitimate concern. But I don't think black-and-white thinking is really the answer here. There are solutions in between shut everything down and keep it all open.
