I think there's going to be a number of lawsuits resulting from the government mandated lock downs. You have a ton of businesses and people who are being personally and professionally damaged from their respective lock downs. As stated earlier, it absolutely is a right that we have as american citizens to peaceably assemble as well as the other inferred and enumerated rights we have.

Whether or not the courts will agree, time will tell. But plenty of people will have reason to be aggrieved by this. Not the least of which the people who are imprisoned or fined for 'violating' the protective order.

I believe, in principle, that everyone should have the right to their own bodily autonomy and frankly the right to make idiotic and stupid decisions. You also have the right to shun those people from society and disassociate yourselves from them for potentially being exposed to stupid viruses. As long as no one is forcing them to go to their dumbass church service, they should be able to make that decision to potentially kill themselves.

Yes, those people are then capable of going around and infecting other people. But it's also, in my opinion, the decision of the people who are potentially interacting with those idiots as well. If I want to ride a motorcycle, I have to concede the idea that I have a significantly increased likelihood of dying by doing so and not of my own fault. But I make that decision when I go out onto the road. Likewise I think in the midst of the pandemic we're all making a conscious decision to potentially expose ourselves to COVID every time we leave the house and its up to us to make sure we're doing everything in our power to prevent ourselves from being infected.

Having said that, I don't personally have a problem with staying in quarantine but I can certainly understand why someone might.

I'd like to add one thing, if someone kills themselves out of loneliness or whatever from the lock down, is that death then the responsibility of the government for enacting the lock down?
