What are the limitations on the government’s newfound right to completely shutdown society based on the predictions of the scientists on its payroll? Have any of the supporters of the shutdown bothered to give this any thought?
Even if you don’t think this current shutdown is an abuse of power (it is), it’s not hard to think of ways the government could abuse this powe. Perhaps that’s reason enough to oppose it? Or at least to be more skeptical than a lot of you are?
And to explain once more: this is not a quarantine. Quarantines of sick people arent new. Placing millions of healthy people under lockdown indefinitely and grinding the economy to a halt based on projections is new.
