Don't outlaw work to “protect” people from themselves

“I know some in the government may not want to admit this, but the American people are smart… There’s no reason to outlaw work to ‘protect’ people from themselves. Even in a pandemic, people can take steps to protect health and do their jobs, pay their bills, and preserve their families’ stability.”


Government officials act as though we have only two, mutually exclusive choices to address COVID-19. We can either close businesses and throw millions out of work, or we can let people die. That’s a false choice.
