It is weird that in America today, so many people are in favor of taking away so much of citizens' freedom and autonomy. When this all started happening, I reflected on the 1917 pandemic (100 times worse than Covid) and how most people kept on working and worshiping through it. 100 years ago, Americans simply would not have accepted such severe and long-lasting restrictions on their lives, but today, most do. It genuinely surprised me to hear people I knew on social media very seriously comment that our government needed to "act more like China" and "control people". Even 30 years ago, most Americans wouldn't have accepted so much restriction on their freedom, but they do now. It's chilling.
