There are countless contagious diseases that threaten human life. We don't get lockdowns or experimental vaccine mandates for any of them. And covid spreading to the world was unavoidable.

That says more about our failure to secure our borders, rather than accepting these diseases as normal.

Like look at 9/11? Hijackers crashing their aircraft was an unexpected phenomenon, yet if we let every passenger walk up to the cockpit, they would most likely do it again. Rather than take the chances, just ban people from getting close to the steering wheel until the plane reaches its destination. You're not losing your "freedoms", it's an extra level of security meant to prevent future disasters.

Covid now represents that exact same paradigm shift. It's not a good thing to let anyone who came in contact with a foreign disease, walk past airport security. Let them quaratine for two weeks and prove they're not sick, before being allowed back into civilization.

Millions of lives would be saved, and there would be no lockdowns. We could have even achieved this at the start of 2020, but once again, we had too many morons in both government, and public society, who said wearing a mask is pointless, and you shouldn't cry if your parents were later found dead.

That's the recipe for a low trust, dysfunctional society. Asian countries proved this lolbertarian nonsense wrong on day one and they are still doing much better than us.
