Freedom is way more important than health.

Freedom, if preserved will last for every generation to come, my health doesn't matter as much as that because I'll die eventually anyway.

If I have to suffer a bit of rough flu for a few days to save freedom, then I'll take the flu option everytime.

In the rarest of occurrences - I actually totally agree with Alf on this basic principle.

Permanently trading away our freedoms would be an unparalleled disaster and absolutely not even CLOSE to worth it... we should never take them for granted, nor underestimate their importance. And I do think we're on the verge of pushing at the limits of that.

Obviously I don't believe in the "it's all to deliberately reign in our freedoms" conspiracy nonsense, but we should be aware that it might happen as a side effect. We can't have repeated lockdowns forever and while I'm in full support of it being done so far, and continuing until we know if vaccines allow it to end... I don't think it's feasible to have continuing lockdowns of the kind we've had so far if the vaccines haven't done the job. There is a balance at some point of "being alive" and "actually living" to consider.

At all?

Then what, pray tell, is the point of living?

Look Alf
Life and Death Treatment in Hospital
matters more than a bunch of Freaks with plants
blocking the road.

Also with this New Bill
Rapists will go to prison Longer.
