Or we don't do any of these extreme, totalitarian measures because it doesn't matter anyway? Because doing so is a one way road to more extreme, totalitarian measures next time there's a disagreement about public policy (and next time, perhaps you find yourself on the "wrong side"). Because covid won't be a thing forever, and sacrificing core values of your nation for temporary gain is foolhardy. Because, again, the people you're trying to protect with these extreme, totalitarian measures don't want your protection and statistically will turn out just fine anyway.
