Why are Americans so obsessed with freedom? It's the catalyst for peoples freedom to not wear masks and go to the beach during a pandemic.

Freedom has pros and cons. The historical foundations of Freedom in America is an idealistic notion that should be tempered with modern knowledge about the price and complexity of freedom.

My friend in China has told me that the crisis has largely been contained in in their country. The irony here being they have less freedoms than we do but they can now go out in public without worrying about transmitting or receiving covid.
