I remember another terrible disease outbreak, back in the early 1980's. AIDS. AIDS was very communicable, had a high risk population, and a very high mortality rate. You could infect someone else while you yourself were asymptomatic. Did we lock the entire country of people down? No. Did we force testing and vaccines? No. In fact, the right to keep the fact that you were infected was paramount. Tests were done in secret, full confidentiality, and it was a crime to even reveal that someone else had it. It was that the politics of the AIDS was very, very different than today's COVID.
