[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4631192, member: 66082"] I don't see how it is nonsensical, but I will try to be clearer. When the government mandates everyone wear seatbelts, so there is a decreased risk of injuries during a car accident, is that government control and government taking away peoples' freedom? When most people follow that mandate and wear seatbelts to lower their risk from serious injuries during car accidents, is that an example of them being sheep and losing their freedom? Why is the government mandating masks and social distancing to lower the spread of coronavirus any different than mandating wearing seat belts to lower the risk of injuries during car accidents, and why would most people following that mandate by wearing masks and social distancing to lower the risk of getting coronavirus be any different than people wearing seat belts to lower their risk of getting injured during a car accident?
