But would you consider it reasonable to force people into lockdowns and quarantines for the cold?


Lockdowns absolutely not: the costs outweigh the benefits, and there’s no potential vaccine on the horizon.

Quarantines, maybe. The vulnerable already have to shield themselves as protection, and the economic losses are pretty steep before you factor in the human cost of suffering.
