I feel as though people are naive when it comes to their freedoms. They never had the freedoms they talk about, the state has always had the power to make it go away. The state can draft you into war. The state can take your children away. The state has the power to imprison you. AND the state can impose very strict quarantine measures. People complaining about their freedoms being taken away don't realise they never had them to begin with.
