The virus isn't a conscious force that shut businesses down, stopped mass transit, discouraged or outright banned local economy, or closed schools. That's the government. It's up to each person to make the choices they see fit for themselves, their loved ones, and their community. The Democrat-run government stripped us of the right to make our own choices. They trapped people in their homes.

The policies put in place are the problem. The virus just existed.

If it's your right and your choice to become a biological weapon and spread a lethal virus amongst the public, then it's my right to put a bullet in you to save everyone around you.

This is not a path you really want to go down

If I was still in the state of mind that I was in during that time, you would have been doing us both a favor. I'm only recovering now, and engaging over it is pushing me backwards.

I have a feeling this is going to go into conspiracy theory territory really quick and that was probably the dumbest grouping of words I have read since the pandemic.

Upfront, I am not going to respond to anything you say after this. There is no point since you are just going through a fit of "nobody can tell me what to do".

Nobody has the right to put others at risk. If you didn't notice, all the things you described were spaces were people gather, and people did go out. Schools being closed is huge. Kids get sick fast. When kids get sick entire households gets sick. This is normal even during the best of times.

These policies were put in place to protect others from people like you, who have a serious misunderstanding of freedom of choice and freedom of speech.
