The Infringement of Individual Liberty

You'll look back on it and you say, how did we put up with that infringement of individual liberty? Well, you see the government had enormous reach. The government was running daily press conference, giving out body counts all the time. You weren't allowed to say goodbye to loved ones who were dying. To me, this would have been unthinkable, I think, in the Second World War. Even though we were at war, we didn't have curfews. But because the rich of the state now is so much greater, the public just by a large token. Now, the economic cost is there this day.
