I do not wish to come across as insulting because that's not my intention. I really do believe that this comment is very naive, however. People put politics ahead of all else during the previous pandemic and this law is just the latest part of that battle. The same thing happened in 1918. The same thing will happen in 2120.

I do not mean this socially, only politically, because the supposed alternative is changed election populus by excess mortality as we saw in 2020.

2120, I'm not so sure, but I'm also no epidemiologist. The plague had a 7-10 year re-emergence cycle, there are many potential latent viruses and existing viruses have high mutation potential.
