How does a great depression level event benefit society ? When you tell everyone to stay home its not an individual you are impacting. You are damaging the entire social structure to prevent damage to the social structure. Is the cure worse

Interesting test of the bill of rights isnt it ? Where is the balance ? Individual not being able to work and feed his family vs some of society getting sick and those who had pre existing conditions sometimes dying. How do you predict what
