A bit of a shame, there were definitely a fair number of users on there who were pushing misinformation and such, but it was also a break from the attitude you see across most of reddit - that politicians can just never be doing enough and we should always be willing to restrict more freedoms for any level of disease prevention.

I saw someone in a subreddit for my state seriously suggesting that we need to distribute N95 respirators to everyone and go on a military lockdown until cases go to zero for an extended period.

I do believe there is a line, I can't point to it directly, but it's good to think about where it lies for you.
