It is not so simple. Some examples: If there is no lockdown, companies are not forced to have employees WFH. So while you may be OK with getting the virus, I might not be, but I am no longer free to not go out since I might lose my job over that. Sure, you could say that it is my choice to give up a job that requires me to work. Then it's a question of values and politics, and in my value system, that is unfair to me and not a good decision.
Second, let's say that the lockdown is lifted and hospitals are running out of capacity. Doctors and nurses are having to leave people to die because there are no beds or ICUs. Let's say the people dying are all above 50 yrs of age, but there is clear evidence that without lockdown, 2000 people die everyday and with lockdown, 200 people die everyday. Is your freedom worth sacrificing 1800 people every day?
- frockington1 6y agoYes. I am against the government forcibly removing people from their jobs and doing nothing to get them the unemployment they have been paying into. This fiasco has made me even more resolute in never trusting the government (local, state, and federal) to do anything remotely efficient
