Q: Isn’t setting a statewide curfew against this section of the constitution? The people should have the freedom to choose

A: We are experiencing one of the rare occasions when, for health reasons to protect all of us, the government is given the responsibility to make orders such as the present curfew, and we must comply with them. Our individual freedoms mean nothing if this pandemic can kill so many of us without discriminating between free people or those put in prisons due to their crimes. In order to protect the health of all people, in circumstances such as this pandemic, we must all do our part. This means that for the next month we must all comply with the state's requirement that we keep the curfew. You can always move to one of the counties in California which is not required to comply with the curfew if you think you must have some freedoms no matter what the situation is. As an adult, you are supposed to understand that the law can intervene in times like this. Or would you rather risk getting infected with Covid-19 and then passing it to your family such as your mother and father, or grandmother or grandfather or any uncles or aunts you might have? How do you suppose you might feel if you got the virus and then passed it on to your grandparents who might not survive it? Try to think of the rights of others at the same time you feel the need to go hang out and have a couple of beers. Better yet, why not just invite some of your buddies to come and party at your place with you? Then you can all get high without having to worry if somebody might get sick and die.
