I went along with 1st one like many; but the issues of freedom liberty autonomy responsibility & attendant harms are crucial
This is exactly the kind of debate we all need to have. Not name calling/ mud slinging/attempts to shut down others

I have respected @cjsnowdon for his analytical work for many years shedding light on over reach in public realm using arguments of Public Health. We don't agree on this; but I firmly believe a grown up robust debate on these issues is exactly what we all need
Essential to this is also how we come out of this. Debating openly freely - yes rowing - but in spirit of trying to understand honestly best way to handle challenges & what to avoid (resource will continue to be a justification for some to impose restrictions again)
We need to all come out of this together, in the civil sense as fellow citizens. IMO we need to get society back and:
"For any democracy to take such a step without first satisfying itself that it was essential to prevent great harm befalling its citizens is..unconscionable"
