No, shot, don't come to work tomorrow is losing personal freedoms.
Employment is not a "right". Don't like it? Start your own company and create your own job.

Here's hoping that the next plague is more successful than the last one.
Overpopulation is what is really killing this planet and yet climate change gets all the headlines. We simply do not have enough resources to support 8B+ humans regardless of the temperature.

Not likely since it’s less communicable and less lethal than COVID.
Don’t give up on the dreaded coronavirus just yet. Latest thinking from epidemiologists is that we’re likely to see around 100K deaths per year from it going forward. It will be primarily an old persons disease, since their immune systems typically lose the benefit of vaccination or previous infection much more quickly than with younger people.

Not sure if that 100K figure is domestic or worldwide but either way, annual births in America are 4M and worldwide are 140M.
For a plague to meaningfully impact our overpopulation problem, it would need to cull at a minimum 100M people annually.
Hope springs eternal that this planet will eventually find a way to shake it's fleas.

That's a figure for US only. US population growth has essentially come to a standstill the past couple years.

Freedoms be taken away again? What are you, some kind of monkey that hasn't a frickin' brain? Nobody took anyone's freedoms away.. we have a pandemic, one that kills people, and you call taking steps to protect ourselves the taking away of freedoms..
As far as I can tell anyone talking like that is no more developed than a baby.. an under-developed bit of slime with potential.. potential you obviously never realized. Grow up and maybe someday you can play with the rest of the kids..
You need to seek professional help.Do some research on vaccines and viruses and don't post again until you know what you're talking about.
