That's what I've noticed as well. When places started doing mandatory lockdowns under the threat of fines or prison, questioning it would usually result in people coming out of the woodwork to say that public health is at risk, so everyone needs to just shut up and do what their told, personal freedoms be damned. The biggest change to me with the lockdowns is that "innocent until proven guilty" is thrown out the window. If you leave your house, it's on you to prove that you weren't breaking the lockdown laws, not on the police to prove that you were going somewhere unauthorized.

But still, I get the argument that quarantines and contact tracing are essential now. I may not be readily traceable, but I accept that I may be challenged when I go out. Just as I'd be stopped for speeding, reckless driving, broken lights, etc. And so I don't go out without a valid reason.
