COVID appears to be fairly contagious, and spreadable by asymptomatic people. If you are out being 'free' while asymptomatic and giving X number of people COVID, you are infringing on their freedoms. It's not as simple as you wanting to be free to make your own choices, when your choices can impact someone else's freedom.
- cwhiz 6y agoIf you feel that you are in a risk pool where covid could be deadly to you, then you should stay home. That is a true statement whether there is a lockdown, or not.
- Klinky 6y agoDoesn't answer the drunk driving or smoking issue. "Your Freedoms" always have limits. Without a strong safety net and worker protection, some at risk people are being forced outside to survive. Sweden at least has a strong safety net, some would even consider it relatively socialist. That can't be said for everywhere.
