>…I am not asking if the law allows it; laws are made up by people and if enough people want to, they can be changed. So would you support changing laws to allow people to be forced to wear masks and forbid them from congregating in large groups, for example, under any circumstances or do you think such laws would be so terrible that it would be better to allow the death of millions, if it came to that?

No way.  Such a law is illegal.  We would need to throw out the Bill of Rights which defines peaceful assembly as a human right.  Even if millions would die without such a law (which we cannot know would happen) throwing out the Bill of Rights would result in the deaths of tens or hundreds of millions.  So of course I would not be for such a law, for the sake of saving millions of lives.  Stathis you are in favor of saving hundreds of millions of lives, ja?
