Meh. I personally believe this pandemic just exposes differences in people's value systems. There are those who are risk-averse and those who are risk-affine. There are those who value freedom of choice over safety restrictions and there are those who would rather save the weak than keep their freedom. It is an interesting moral dilemma and this entire affair has turned into religious debate for me.

There is no real "right" or "wrong" here. Everyone can argue until they are blue in the face whether all these policy decisions are correct or necessary. It all depends on what you believe society should be like.

> those who would rather save the weak than keep their freedom

You show a strong bias here.

I would say "those who would rather save the unlucky".

Dying of Covid-19 or getting Long Covid is not due to "weakness".
