Every state has some rules about safety. Traffic, food production, health care and so one. These rules are in place because they are a good thing that creates order out of chaos, it makes things more predictable.

Does it make every government totalitarian?

I do not know if that move Austrian government made is a smart one but I certainly can understand the motivation behind it. I do not support their decision wholeheartedly but I'm not sure I should oppose it either.

We can argue at the moment that the situation has changed. Perhaps. But the main principle I described here remains.
