Cooperating with your community and the greater good is viewed as slavery

Over a virus that is no worse, on average, than the flu. You are denied freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, forced to wear a item of clothing, your right to privacy is intruded on, in some cases your right to free speech, you lose your business, your job, and are forced to marginally subsist on uncertain welfare from the gov. Only to look forward to years of a rocky economic road which will seriously diminish your way of life, which ultimately more seriously negatively affects the greater good of everybody.

and ignorance.

True ignorance is denying experiential and scientific data surrounding the topic.

Hopefully, the virus dies out on its own and through the millions of people putting forth an effort to stop it.

The only way millions of people are going to "stop it", is by contracting it, having the sniffles for a couple of weeks and then being done with it.

Well, it is not the flu. Virologists have decades of studies into influenza, Covid-19 is a novel virus. https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/26/from-nose-to-toe-covid19-virus-attacks-like-no-other-respiratory-infection/

I clearly told you that it's not a flu. You are promoting hysteria. Since you now realize it's primarily spread through biovapor, you are now changing tact and embracing the fear purveyor's speculation of mysterious long term damage.......in the small fraction of the population that are susceptible to it. Really cannot know if that is true until years down the road, and hence not applicable to the current conversation.

Losing a leg is long-term damage. You can know that five minutes after it happens; you don't need to wait 50 years to make sure the leg won't grow back before you conclude "maybe ACME anvils do cause long-term damage".
