RE: COVID-19: Liberty vs. Safety and Security

It seems mostly like a natural outcome of political game theory:
If the government take strong action and everything turns out just fine, then it gets credit for having prevented further outbreak and harm.
If they take strong action and still plenty of people die, it can still point to the fact that it did take action when idd the threat was real.
It is only by doing little that it really takes on risk of criticism if things then turn out bad.

Interesting perspective @fredrikaa! I appreciate you investing your time to jot it down here.
I can say nothing about Norwegian history, but there was a time in America when our "fearless leaders" would have acknowledged the limitation of their power. But today? Even the pretense that they will "save" us is nonsense at best.
Nonetheless, failing to acknowledge that and forging ahead, the actions being taken will result in economic destruction the likes of which none of us living have ever experienced. Which will have damaging consequences for all of us, not just the people who unfortunately have also contracted COVID-19 ...
No theory in the statement above. It is already happening. The only question is how bad it will get and the actions the State is prepared to take to both justify itself in the face of it and continue to pretend that it will "save" us ...
Thank you for stopping by and adding value to this post!
