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.

Not everyone follows the driving laws, and even those who do, still get injured and die, yet no highway lockdowns.

Some people don't wear masks, even those who do get sick or die, yet we lock everyone down.

The covid pandemic lockdown may be inconvenient, but it's worth it, even if others and the economy suffers. The 'movid pandemic' however, is no different in that sense, yet let's disregard that.

This is hypocrisy, and many will not stand for that. My way or the highway, is no way to get people behind you.
