Okay, now imagine that in a decade or so, we stare down a new virus which is far more threatening than COVID-19. One that will outright kill more people regardless of age.
It's either your personal freedoms or death. Choose one.
In a pandemic situation we can't afford to be choosy about our personal freedoms. We have to accept that our privacy concerns are limited, then be prepared to take them back when the situation is dealt with. You can regain your rights. You can't regain your life, or the lives of those that were killed by your negligence.
