1) In Belarus, "The border committee blamed the measures on the coronavirus pandemic."
2) The covid situation is worse in Belarus than Australia
3) The covid situation in Australia is apparently enough to justify a multi-year ban on citizens leaving
I still don't see how it is not justifiable to ban citizens from leaving in Belarus because of the pandemic. Less stable politics means you have to morally let people die by having no measures against the pandemic?
Your argument seems to be based in guessing intentions within the politician's mind
- Nursie 5y agoIn Belarus it’s a lie, for a start, and part of a wider pattern of crackdowns on dissent. In Australia it’s a genuine public health measure, even if you believe it misguided. If you don’t see difference I feel sorry for you.
- ajkdhcb2 5y agoAt the least, it is a genuine public health measure AND a crackdown on dissent. Therefore it is not so simple to argue that it is a reprehensible move, if you are in favour of restrictions to prevent covid: you are saying that facilitating dissent is more important than "saving lives" from covid. It doesnt matter what the intention is: you believe that travel restrictions save lives. You must be subconsciously doing some sort of calculation between human rights and mitigating the pandemic
