...with such a "loose" definition of lockdown, things will have to get much worse before they get better...
I hear your angle, but what of the other angle...
Now I don't have my own country to run, but if I did, I would provide the advice, provide REAL stats and not put every single 'death' into the total count, and I would definitely not impose a ban on movement. But then there will always be people shouting 'nobody listens, we need to force people to stay at home', and this is just it, if people dont want to listen, want to take the risk that they are not in the what? 3% of the population who could possibly die from something which also is starting to sound like it potentially needs you to have other underlying existing health issues??!... but then there is also the argument of people being carriers of it? well again my counter argument is well nobody is forcing you to mix with anyone, you could lock your doors and windows and simply not mingle with anyone for however long.
My point? theres freedom and theres excuses to take it away, once you give governments a reason to take it away, the system falls into place to take it away quite easily the next time round over something completely different, it is called 'conditioning'...
At the end of the day if people are ignorant of the advice then let them take the risk, and if people are frightened of carriers, well the answer is simple, don't socialise.
Stupidity and the gullibility of people is what further feeds the growth of governments, we don't need more governing, we need more back to basics common sense and power back in the hands of people.
From guns, to viruses, to terrorism to whatever... every new law/power was granted to take away our liberties, and they all had some form of justification behind it... and nearly always it's to do with 'keeping us safe from the boogie-man'... I can take care of myself thank you very much.
The other theory flying around out there is that a major recession was already on the cards, and this whole COVID thing came together just at the right time, ironically... to top it off, just a coincidence that hayfever season is ready to kick off soon too... let us not forget the IMF have officially declared a global recession, how nice of them, hardly any news coverage on that one!
My position... we need to condition people back into common-sense, and sometimes that is achieved through hardship and suffering, people need to grow balls and hair again.
If we keep nanny-holding everyone's hands to save them, future generations are going to be incapable of surviving without government guidance on how to walk, where to walk, what to eat, what to believe and what not to believe. It all sounds far fetched and conspiracy-theory like... unfortunately this is our modern reality.
Next year it will probably be a microbe from space converting people into non-compliant threats to society...
