Seriously, I believe the purpose of the completely bassackwards policy decisions is to get the masses to beg to have their rights stripped from them so they 'feel' safe.
Failing that, to use the outbreak as an 'excuse' anyway.
Hopefully, people will look at the way this is being 'managed' and decide they want different management at the very least and resist any such attempt.
