Freedom is all well and good, until you have responsibility

Freedom without responsibility ain't freedom...it's just license.

Freedom is self-direction and self-responsibility. The two are inextricably mixed together.

Bullshit.

Only responsible people will be able to visit oversea countries, I guess that's not you then.

When someone tells you to do something that is harmful to yourself, you are being psychologically attacked. We should all make up our own minds what the right things we should do. But people will pressure us because they want to be in charge.

If there is a rule that requires obedience, that's not right. Hopefully, those Covid-19 rules will soon fade away.
