When people say their freedoms are at stake they refer foremost to things like going to beaches, concerts, celebrations. Most cases mentioned are social gatherings where the new normal of wearing masks and keeping ones distance plainly isn't possible or simply not accepted amongst the peer group.
Hence that's what freedom is about for these people, their freedom is all about their innate right to have fun, and to not submit to any apparent health scare, nor do they comply to any rules of engagement considering the new status quo we're in with this virus.
So, that's what freedoms are about when these people are concerned.
I don't think so, my freedom doesn't depend on such bullshit selfish arguments. I step aside from parts of society in which there is to found a falsehood of existence. In which individual satisfaction comes before individual duty. In this very case it's easy to think back to the words of JFK when he stated it wasn't the question what your country can do for you which is important, but the question what you can do for your country. Country to be read here as your circle, your loved ones, friends and community.
An illness like the one we're faced with can only be tackled when all of us participate.
