 Good day, May 40 here. So I'm reading a lot of news stories about people won't put up with more lockdowns They're not going to put up with their freedoms being taken away Keep your hands off my guns and my religion people won't put up with any more restrictions on social gathering and The free exercise of their religion and going to church and going to synagogue and going to rock concerts and going to sporting events They're just not going to put up with it anymore. They're only so far you can push people Look people are infinitely flexible if they feel their lives are at stake They will put up with lockdowns if they know that the government is going to bail them out financially and send them a check You know, they'll put up with not going to work people will put up with sitting around or day watching Netflix All right, it's not like there's a certain Amount of restriction on their freedom and then people just rise up and revolt Everything that we do is contextual everything that we do depends on the situation if Omicron is some like deadly Variant of COVID people will put out with more lockdowns people will put out with more restrictions by and large Lockdowns restrictions vaccinations taking away freedom has overwhelmingly been popular in the Western world there hasn't been a widespread revolt in the very opposite has occurred the populace the Anti-elitists have steadily lost influence lost popularity. So the the Insurgent populace parties in Europe have suffered all right the Republicans suffered for Donald Trump's poor handling of the the COVID crisis so if Omicron means that we're going to have more restrictions and more loss of freedom and More lockdowns if people feel like their lives are at stake They'll put up with it will put up with almost anything depending on the context everything is situational if the situation Determines that we're best off staying at home We will stay at home if the situation determines we're best off not going to work will not go into work All right in the situation determines. We're best off not going to the cricket match We won't go to the cricket match It's not like there's some absolute level of freedom or there's some absolute activities that we just will not force Where all right everything we do everything we feel everything we say Depends upon the situation. It depends upon the context So in a certain context, we'll be glad to stay home Right in another context. We'll be glad to forego this or that social event All right, so I don't know what Omicron poses to us but By and large people will react to the situation and if Omicron the new COVID variant Poses a substantial risk to life and limb and health and our well-being Then people will go along with whatever measures are recommended
