Second Class Citizens?

The "stay at home" restrictions are under a widespread debate currently. The arguments against are them being unconstitutional and an overreach of government against individuals. The arguments for are about saving lives and flattening the curve. As this debate reaches fever pitch around the country I had a thought and a different take on things. First, to state my position, I am against the restrictions remaining. I think all restrictions should be lifted and people should make their own decisions as to where they should and should not go. I am not saying we should abandon common sense measures like social distancing and all that entails, just the "keep businesses closed" part of all this. I am firmly convinced that the "cure" is much more dangerous (and deadly over the long-term) than the disease. So, you may judge what follows from that perspective if you like. The destruction of our economy and employment is a ridiculous "head in the sand"
