Q: Please share any additional thoughts or comments you have on the coronavirus crisis and government's response.
A: Not only are the government’s restrictions a violation of our constitutional rights, including freedom to meet and communicate with others (without being potentially monitored through the internet and airwaves), but it sets a disturbing precedent. I am very concerned that this means that any time that the “powers that be” have an agenda, they can just control the masses (and economy) through mass media fear and govenment restrictions. I am strongly opposed to that.
I don’t mind being given suggestions and recommendations. That’s totally fine. People should have a right to choose based on accurate information. For example, I choose not to smoke or drink alcohol, which places me at a much lower risk of various diseases, but other people choose to drink or smoke. The government doesn’t stop people from drinking or smoking, which kills way more people than Covid.
But we should be given accurate information (such as that there were nearly no CoVid tests in the early days, and they are still hard to come by). Also the statistics are way off, a lot of people are asymptomatic or only have mild to moderate cold/flu type symptoms and are over it in a week or two. I am very unhappy about the way this situation has played out.
Also, the timing around the shutdown and primary elections was notable. Voter turnout was terrible. Enough said….
