Freedom includes the freedom not to be harmed avoidably by others' choices. Vaccine mandates for health care workers and others, indoor mask mandates where Covid is spreading, and better protection of health care workers are ethically required.

    I replied,    

    Oh, bullshit!

Your "standard," consistently applied in the context you are using, would prohibit an entire spectrum of human activity including driving a car, playing sports, and even walking down the street since it's always possible you might bump into someone.

Just dumb.

      Looking back.    

     

     

        I went on to write,        

         

           

            Global population adjusted to 2020 deaths ~ 66 Million (making some estimates as high as 390 Million.)

              ===  

Global deaths from COVID-19 as of July 28, 2020 according to Coronavirus dashboard - 660,000    

===      

Conclusion: COVID-19 is similar to a bad flu.        

If the political response is going to be the "new normal" to "save lives" then we shall never be free again.          

Note re: 1957-58 Asian Flu            

"It caused many infections in children, spread in schools, and led to many school closures. However, the virus was rarely fatal in children and was most deadly in pregnant women, the elderly, and those with pre-existing heart and lung disease." -- (source: Wikipedia citing Clark, William R. (2008). Bracing for Armageddon?: The Science and Politics of Bioterrorism in America. Oxford University Press. p. 72. ISBN 978-0-19-045062-5.)              

           

   

      The body count has increased since I wrote the above, to 5,262,331 as of today. What is also known, today, is that the body count has been dramatically inflated because anyone who dies for any reason is counted as a COVID death if they happened to have a positive PCR test prior to passing. The actual number of people who died from COVID is closer to 10% of the reported sum, putting it down around 500,000, making it far less deadly than both the Asian and Hong Kong Flu pandemics.
