the very definition of a "Free Spirit", no?...as for COVID-19, you might say that our government - and all those around this 'Big Blue Marble' - are trying to learn how to dance to its tune. Fortunately, the vaccine news is better than expected, but we'll need a lot of testing and contact tracing to avoid unnecessary flare-ups and loss of confidence.
As for 'government control', we're now talking politics and not medicine, but nonetheless relevant. The amount of GC in our system is constantly varying, depending on the perceived needs of our "community"...right now we're under attack by a serious disease which threatens our very HC system...we need the highest level of assistance available. After we've returned to a 'new normal', it's appropriate to question what level of GC is necessary...we're not there yet.
