The issue of public health orders to prevent transmission of infectious disease has little to do with depriving someone of freedom.
Dead people dont practice much freedom do they?
‘Dead people dont practice much freedom do they?’
no, but 99% of the people that are not dead from this virus do...

So, did you wear a mask when the flu came around? No? why not?
Do you know anyone who “died” from not wearing a sheep mask? Really. Stay in your closet and shiver.
My sister who has stayed in her home since mid-March hasnt practiced much freedom. She wont go out the front of the house, because then shell run into her neighbors, who dont wear masks outdoors, and practice some social distancing, but not everyone does. Shes so afraid. She says she can only handle being in the back yard for 5 minutes because of the heat and the mosquitoes.
So she stays inside her 1500 square foot house. She doesnt get to see her 1 year old grandson, her only grandchild. She misses him so much. Shes 67 and in reasonable health, slightly overweight, but not terribly. She has a slight heart condition that she has managed with medication when its necessary. For the most part, she has always been afflicted by depression and obsessive-compulsive behavior. She had been doing GREAT with her medications for that before this overreaction, She gets mad, actually jealous more than mad, when she finds out others are going about their lives.
To your point, she isnt free at all. I cant get anywhere with her. She is being irrational and there is nothing I can do about it. She thinks a vaccine will cure all of this. So she stays inside, and orders groceries online. She complains when they have to make substitutions, or pick produce that wasnt very good. This is not FREEDOM. I blame the Democrats and their propaganda arm, the MSM, for blowing this out of proportion. My sister isnt dead yet, but shes certainly not living,

Depends on where their souls are.
