There's no hypocrisy. In both cases, practical solutions to protect human lives should be implemented and mandated to minimise preventable mortality and morbidity. In times of crisis, temporary inconveniences are sometimes necessary; that's not authoritarian, that's just being responsible and realistic.

Some don't follow the driving rules, leading to perhaps a pile up of deaths, and best case, we punish them and only them.

Some don't follow the masking and social distancing rules, leading to deaths, and yet we punished everyone.

This is hypocrisy. Most people don't and won't blindly follow hypocrites. Things could have been different.

Wearing a mask and socially distancing isn't punishment. It's a small and temporary inconvenience that saves lives. 

I swear, if the Blitz had happened in 2020...
