- Do believe in a government-enforced mask mandate due to a virus?
- Do you believe the government should shutdown restaurants, theatres, bars, hotels, and other places due to a virus?
- How many cases or deaths must happen due to a virus for you to support the above 2 measures?
If you do support the above 2 measures of forced-masks and forced-lockdowns for COVID, why didn't you support them for flu? Are 600,000 deaths acceptable, but 1M*** is not?
I'm not saying you don't care - I'm just saying the people who support forced-masks and forced-lockdowns for COVID, but not flu are intellectually inconsistent. |
1. I believe that yes if a law is required to get people to wear masks, issue them a ticket. That does not mean I encourage the use of physical force so lets not think me believing that issuing a ticket for not wearing a mask, during the pandemic!, being ok means I believe in goostepping nazi robocops. (same way nobody thought staying inside when the bostom bomber was on the run meant they thought the goverment should now permantly be martial law)
2. I believe that was the best course of action at the time sure, but that doesn't mean I think we should be welding people inside. And there are better course of actions we can do now, within reason. I hate being stuck inside too!
3. It had to be preventable. The Covid virus is not a natural occurring virus, and if we can contain it we can kill it and prevent a lot of deaths. The flu also doesnt kill nearly as many, if as many people that got the flu to = 600k deaths, got covid it would be like 6 million deaths.
Ok I hope this helps!
