I worry about this too. I can’t believe you’re being downvoted.

I hate to say it but this whole thread gives me the vibe of democracy dying to thunderous applause.

Totalitarian leaders always invoke the benefit of the masses when justifying their abuse.

Personally, I believe very strongly in personal freedom, so I would absolutely rather have a million deaths than go into a state-mandated nationwide total lockdown.

Anyway, the truth is it’s not an “either or” scenario.

Hopefully there’s a sane middleground that we converge on :)

Would you sacrifice members of your family? A million is easier to justify when it's some nameless mass of people.
