I would be somewhat okay with some heavy-handed regulations if it's proven to stamp out the virus, but at this point it's looking like this thing is going to be around for years/the rest of our lives. Once you agree to these types of measures, it's extremely easy for these to just stick around indefinitely (it's like getting stuck with a responsibility that you temporarily accepted at work), or to accept even further, more "draconian" measures in the future as it becomes the "new normal."

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who is getting sick of these contrarian deniers. Normally their screeching about how everyone else is a sheep while they gobble up anything and everything that's not "mainstream" (while failing to see the irony) in a sad attempt to feel smarter than the turnips that they are is just background noise that can be ignored. But right now is probably the first time in a while where they can actually cause more harm than normal to others with their smooth brains. After months of it I can see why people are more willing to go along with regulations against them.
Maybe that's the real secret plan of the lizard people, use the nutters to annoy the general population into giving them what they wanted.
