For what they believe to be the greater good is exactly what is the issue. I believe the greater good would’ve been to just advise people to be safe and stay home if sick. Acting like people have the plague when they have cold symptoms and most people will just experience minor cold symptoms (especially if they’re vaccinated or already had it), I don’t believe is good. Covid is novel, the common cold probably once was as well.

I’d argue a majority of people just don’t care. They don’t care they have to wear one, will stop wearing one as soon as they don’t have to.

>to just advise people to be safe and stay home if sick.

I'm not here to argue the medical science, as I am not a doctor and if you are, you have not disclosed it.

My point was you assume people are being sadistic and want all of this shit. No one wants everything going on, they just believe it is for the best. Or they don't care, as you pointed out. Neither of these is what you said at first; that people desire this "awful hell".

True it isn’t that they desire these shit things, it is that they don’t desire what is actually worth desiring.
