( death dealing disease notwithstanding, for what they would have us believe is their idea of freedom and a fear of state authority getting out of hand, there are people who have demonstrated in opposition to masks, distancing and lock-downs.
Rather like objecting to being told on which side of the road to drive or protesting being advised to wipe your bottom after going to the lavatory.)
