“Viruses come and go. Loss of freedom is forever”

“Viruses come and go. Loss of freedom is forever” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying was a response to the government restrictions from the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
     
“Viruses come and go all the time. The question is, are the human, political, freedom and economic disasters caused by the lockdowns actually justified?” was posted on Twitter by JD Eadon on April 7, 2020. “Viruses will come, and go! Our freedom won’t!” was posted on Twitter by Kyle Davis on April 12, 2020. “We should remember that viruses come and go and so do tough economic times, BUT when your freedom disappears, it is gone forever” was posted on Twitter by Lyn Kleinschmidt on April 30, 2020.
     
“Viruses come and go, but once freedom is gone it’s gone forever” was posted on Twitter by Chris Branco on November 28, 2020. “Viruses come and go, but the loss of Freedom is Forever” was posted on Twitter by George Dorunda on November 30, 2020. “Viruses come and go, loss of freedom is forever” was posted on Twitter by Latvian_princesss on December 2, 2020. “VIRUSES COME AND GO , LOSS OF FREEDOM IS FOREVER !!” (also shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by Marika on December 12, 2020. The saying was probably popularized by this image.

We should remember that viruses come and go and so do tough economic times, BUT when your freedom disappears, it is gone forever. Don’t let us fall into that dangerous trap because of this temporary pandemic. The outcomes could be way worse for all Americans.
