Regardless of where the virus came from, the culture of fear has been manufactured. It's a tool used to gain power and control. This pandemic takes it to the next level but it's been going on for a long time.



Nobody has suggested taking away others rights and freedom other than those sitting in your corner. If you want to stay at home, avoid travelling, wear a mask - fine do it, it's your right to choose to do those things for yourself. But mandating these things for everyone by law, removing others ability to make their own personal risk assessment and choices, forcibly taking away their freedoms - that's wrong.


As for 'being part of the problem or part of the solution', is anything ever that black and white? And who says we have to 'stop the spread of covid', who says we can ever hope to 'control the virus'. We've been living with these viruses for thousands of years, they are quite literally a fact of life. They eventually become more transmissible and less lethal - a seriously deadly virus is not a particularly successful virus. By interfering with it's natural development we're probably just making this worse and dragging it out for longer.
