In a free society people are allowed to choose the risks they take. They can choose to smoke even though there's a risk of lung cancer. They can choose drive to work even though they might crash their car. They can choose to ride a crowded bus even though they might catch a cold. Risks are an inherent part of life there's no avoiding this
Yet because of a virus with a >1% mortality rate we are hardly even allowed to leave the house. Shouldn't it be our choice to decide if we're willing to risk going outside or not? Very few people are actually vulnerable to the disease so shouldn't be their responsibility to protect themselves by self-isolating. Why does the whole world have to come to standstill to protect a few old and sick people who were about to drop dead anyway. 99% of people who died from Coronavirus were sick with other illnesses! The average age of a Coronavirus fatality in Italy is 80!
Yet to protect people who are already knocking on deaths door, the world's leaders have decided to tank the world's economy, decimate entire industries, sabotage the education of millions of young people, destroy small businesses and drive the poor into poverty and debt for the rest of their lives.
How many lives are going to be ruined by the poverty this creates? How many young people are going to commit suicide because their lives were ruined by these draconian measures?
But the worst part about this is just how accepting the normies are of this. The government has just ripped their rights away from them overnight and they are going along with it like docile cattle because then media has panicked them in to believing that this disease is a threat to them. A disease so mild that most people won't even notice they have it.
The governments of the world have just shown us how easily they can take our rights away. All it takes is a little manufactured fear and the normies will hand over their freedom willingly for the illusion of security.
