So your point about tyranny effectively becomes that you don't think masks or ensuring that people interact less reduces the spread of COVID. However there's real evidence of both of those things helping reduce the spread.
Effectively your argument is that you don't want to do a thing, so someone making you do that thing is a tyrant?
I'm not sure we get anywhere else on this.
Is that argument clear enough?
Again I'll note, "staying in the house" is a reasonable thing to ensure the populace do when the effect of not doing so is potentially harmful to the entire population. I say this as an Aussie living elsewhere. I yearn for the freedoms that you've had in Australia for 2020. We've got some of them over here due to vaccinations, but who knows how long that will last.
