Are lockdowns justified?

[Irreligious Atheist]

I think they are a bit overboard. I don't mind wearing a mask, but people getting charged here in Canada for organizing freedom rallies is outrageous. When BLM were rallying here in my city, the top public health official marched with them and said it was ok to go as long as you isolated for two weeks after. Then when it was people protesting against the politicians rather than the police, that protesting suddenly became unacceptable and organizers were and are still being charged.

Canada has or had curfews in Quebec. Homeless people are being ticketed for violating curfew. People fined for playing Pokemon Go alone in parking lots. This is beyond stupidity.
