The majority don’t, though. The country did not sign up for a quarantine until vaccine was released, if ever. People are free to quarantine until vaccines are out, but please don’t force this oppression on everyone else.


view as:

Do you have numbers to back up the claim that the majority of people don’t approve of the quarantine? Because the numbers I have shows 74% of Americans approve of the quarantine: https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-c...

That is not what the poster said at all.

Can you or they explain to me what was meant then, because I’ve read the two comments over and over and the only conclusion I can reach is exactly what I replied with.

>The country did not sign up for a quarantine until vaccine was released

Approval of quarantine until vaccine was released =/= approval of social distancing in any form.

The poster claimed that most people are not in support of quarantine until vaccine, not that they oppose any quarantine.

The poll you linked did not ask about quarantining until the vaccine was available. In fact, 50% of the poll respondents expected social distancing to last no longer than 2 months. Note the poll was taken in March.


How many more people would additive if they received the kind of financial aid that companies are receiving? For example, even a freeze on rents would probably significantly reduce the number of people who are desperate for work at the moment.
