Certainly not! The fundamental problem is that arguments written from a naive perspective of assuming we have these things, while we most definitely do not, end up advocating for horribly oppressive policies.

The elephant in the room with Covid is that most everyone is forced to work by our economic treadmill - this is the explicit government policy, that neither party debates. It has kept the standard of employment at 40 hours per week (or higher) while technological process, offshoring, and women entering the workforce should have it down to somewhere around 15 or less. So without "lockdowns" (aka business closures), most people would not have been free to make the choice to self isolate. Rather they would have been forced to keep going into work for business as usual.

Authoritarianism begets more authoritarianism to solve its own failings, and focusing on a surface issue in isolation is a red herring.
