Should we just give people absolute freedom to drive any speed they want? To drive on the sidewalks? To drive drunk? Of course not. Safety measures need to be put in place to protect human lives. It's the same with masks and other anti-COVID measures. 

So when COVID is all over with and the Gov decides, 'now it's time to solve MOVED' (motor vehicle deaths), when they outlaw motor vehicles, as inconvenient as that would be, you and most others worldwide will get on board and put your best foot forward to save every last life possible?

That's not analogous; we already take measures to prevent motor vehicle deaths like speed limits and other road rules, airbags, seatbelts, not letting people drive drunk, etc. The common sense thing to do is to take equivalent action to protect human life during a pandemic.
