Agreed, obesity is a terrible national health problem which in most cases is a result of poor lifestyle choices by the patient. It is NOT, however, a highly communicable infectious disease capable of jumping from one person to another regardless of their health status. That difference is quite obvious.

The important point is, not everyone who caches Covid is getting serious health problems, its actually just a very low percentage, especially if you are under 65 and have no other risk factors. Yet, governments try to lockdown everybody.

I will give you a better example. Every year, millions of people die or have serious health problems because of alcohol consumptions. You want to have the prohibition back?

Many people die or have serious insuries everyday because they drive with a car. You want people stay at home because of that fact?

We are facing risks everyday, make decisions to take risks or not. Thats part of our live. I dont want anybody to make that decsion for me!

If people want to stay at home because they feel not save or worry about there family, than Im all for supporting them.
Give everyone 65+ a sufficent monthly support so that they can stay at home if they want, as long as Covid is around.

Using mandatory masks in supermarkets etc. to help protect the vulnerable is all fine for me.

But handing over our freedoms and rights to the governments, shutting down everything with consequences nobody can really estimate yet, is just insane given the low risk of serious health problems for most people!
