I have a question.

A serious one.

and I want you to take a long moment to think on your answer. Don't knee-jerk response this. Ponder and then respond.

Why do you feel that being told what to do for public health is a violation of your rights?

No one says that about having to wear seat belts.

No one says that about having to wear shoes in public places. Yes, wearing shoes in public places is a public health issue.

Why now? Why all of a sudden did conservatives suddenly think being required to take actions in regards to their health and the health of others to be a form of oppression?

Why?

Customs and public policies are different than guaranteed constitutional rights. Washing hands, avoiding contact, staying 6 ft away are examples of great practices for public health safety, but executive orders from governors or the U.S. President infringing upon our 1st amendment right of freedom of assembly and freedom of religion are blatant violation of our rights. Of course, it may be well-intentioned and effective to reduce the spread of any illness, not just COVID, but it is still nonetheless violations of our 1st amendment rights.
The state and federal government shall not make any infringement on these rights. Of course, they can suggest and recommend practices and people can freely observe them, but citizens cannot be punished for not following these suggestions, otherwise it is a violation of our 1st amendment rights.

Well said. I am not really opposed to voluntary compliance and common sense. But I make a point that safety at all costs, including giving away Constitutional rights, is dangerous and will be used by future tyrants as a past example in court.
