Most of us agree that a rally is "ill advised" from a public health standpoint. So were the protests. So are folks completely flouting common sense in other aspects of life. Some people call the COVID thing a "hoax" (without really defining what they mean). I guess they think it "no worse than flu", or something.
One aspect of freedom is that it is paired with responsibility. The less of the latter we have collectively, the less of the former will will have.
