> The main message I want to get across is I want people to adhere to public health measures and try to do their part, but locking people up is not the answer The problem seems to be expecting the populace at large to follow the rules that come with public health measures. This physician is likely right but in a society where more people are concerned for the overall problem then their own desires (separate from actual needs). In the US (where I live) something close to half the population sees this as a political issue and not a health one. This leads to selfish behavior of ignoring health directives as a form of resistance, or support of their “team”. Lockdowns may be the only way to effect public health measures when the public won’t follow them voluntarily. Unfortunately it’s a poor substitute with significant side effects.
