The flu never knocked me on my butt for a year making normal life impossible.

If that describes you, I'm very sorry to hear it, and will pray for your continued recovery.

But are you saying you disagree with this statement--or words to that effect?

"It's not worth locking down and enslaving the country over something that is, like sunrise, sunset, birth, and death, part of living."

Its worth taking sensible precautions. It didn’t actually take that long to figure out that masks were helpful. Lockdowns otoh didn’t help nearly as much and also came at a steep price.

You had people taking mass transit inches apart without spread so long as the buses were sprayed down regularly. The riots turned out to not produce appreciable spread, and the rioters wore masks which helped to hide their identities and also slowed spread.

Doing nothing and ending up with a third if your people unable to breathe, fatigued, or with early onset dementia or some other mental health problem would have cost the country well into the future. Masking up was the cheapest, least invasive, and probably most effective thing we did. I do think the lockdowns have been way overdone and still are being overdone, especially in light of what we now know of how the homeless fared through all of this. It is theorized that adequate sunlight helped to prevent severe disease in that population.
