First of all, I know we need to do things to stop the spread of the virus. I'm mostly okay with precautions that have been implemented. There are some though that I feel are crossing the line or starting to cross the line.
Apple and Google have announced that they are going to create some kind of tracking app to let you know when you come in contact with someone who has/had the virus. It is supposed to be voluntary. That might sound good on the surface to some, but is that really the direction we need to be taking here?
We live in a society that has already in some ways become more distant from one another. People rather communicate online than in person. Now they are making announcements in stores telling us to stay at least six feet apart from each other. The aisles have arrows showing which direction we are supposed to walk. People are acting more suspicious of one another. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be social distancing right now, but I worry that it will carry on even after this is over.
The governor of Georgia announced that they are now extending the shutdown until the end of the month. People can't work and cannot afford rent. Even in the places where they cannot evict right now, there will come a time where they can. People will be faced with either paying all their back rent or having nowhere to live. When most of us can already barely afford rent, then we sure won't be able to afford all the back rent.
What freedoms are we willing to give up and for how long. Where is that line that shouldn't be crossed?
