And you can see in Italy how the (hoped) path for the fewest deaths as opposed to (rather than along with) freedom led to a horrible result. The current PM has basically trampled on every constitutional right with authority that he should not have, and the effects of the policy (besides locking up people for at least 75 days) aren't that great. And let's not talk about the social / economical aspect.
The authoritarian aspect of these moves was clearly shown when he threatened closing things again if infections rise (as if it's the fault of the people he's supposed to protect).
