| MerlinMp[m] | <undefined_bob> "they think the gov is evil..." <- people think gov is overreacting and adding unnecessary and unjustified restriction. For example in my country it was prohibited to go info forests and parks. It made conspiracy theory that you can get covid from trees. At the beginning it sounded ridiculous, but police treated it very seriously. Unless you know any research about forest infections? | 14:07 |

| MerlinMp[m] | <undefined_bob> "and for being able to controll..." <- You cannot protect someone walking alone with dog this way. If you try to control more than justified, you become unreliable and Im not surprised after such actions people dont trust governments and moreover dont trust doctors who supports unjustified actions and as a result they dont trust justified actions and recommendation | 14:26 |
| undefined_bob | MerlinMp[m]: you still dont get it. | 14:27 |
| undefined_bob | its not about the one walking alone with his dog. Its about the ppl who wanna meet in groups and so on. And to prevent and controll this its much easier to forbit everything/everyone. | 14:28 |
