Here are a couple of questions I'd like to throw to the commentariat for debate.
Are there hypothetical circumstances under which you *would* cooperate with government-enforced mass quarantine measures (i.e. total lockdowns or more localized blockades)? Can such measures be considered a reasonable option for democratic societies?
Similarly, but separately, are there hypothetical circumstances under which you *would* cooperate with a government-enforced vaccine mandate?
I ask because in listening to my own stream of thought about this (often in the middle of the night, the same sorts of things over and over again), I feel myself getting into a dualistic rut, and if there's nuance to be found here I want to stretch my mind to see it.

When would you comply?
