Try that here in Britain, OP.
When Her Majesty's Constabulary can not only order the breakup but the fining of gatherings of more than two people during this lockdown, please resist arrest.
Perhaps you'll be able to experience first hand if a taser can 'shock' Coronavirus out of someone. [/'Disinfectant']
You live in a society and, consequently, have accepted to submit to any needed measure for the maintenance of it.
Laws have been established to ensure every member of a society can correctly live, and each member have to submit to them and contribute to the common good.
One of the way someone can be asked to contribute to a society have been conscription, which is still available in the United States, as can attest the fact the Selective Service System server was down on January after much went there. I can’t see how much having to be put in a situation where death can result is less onerous than merely having to not go unnecessarily out of one’s house.
“life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Lockdown dumbass, notice how “life” comes first?

It’s not that hard, either. There’s trimmers with attachments, hand mirrors, clips and scissors to order online. One doesn’t need a fancy style, just a trim.
I haven’t been to a salon in YEARS! I trim and dye my own hair!
Church can be done via livestream and restaurant food can be takeout. These idiots have no excuse!

"Your security is not more important than my liberties!!"
Do you see now how stupid your sign is? What liberties are being taken away by asking you to stay mostly inside for a few months? Why should we care about you when you don't care about others?
Civil liberties in the US have been meaning less and less for 20 years now with the vague excuse of “maybe the people we’re denying them to might be dangerous in some way and besides freedom isn’t free” and have to live life under the microscope until the day they die only for that to not exonerate them at all. Muslims, then immigrants, then people who can’t rightly be called immigrants but aren’t white, the LGBT community but the religious institutions that were denying them their rights turned it around and made it about themselves, African Americans only really had rights on paper rather than in practice since before any of this shit started but rapidly changing the topic on that and downplaying every grievance as a mild irritation blown out of proportion or an unwarranted sense of entitlement is a comfortable routine by now.
But then when there is an actual, immediate, irrefutable, mortal danger to the entire community that doesn’t have a face you can pick out of a crowd and shake your fist at suddenly the price of safety involving personal restrictions that amount to “Beware: minefield ahead, keep out” and “Protective equipment required beyond this point” is far too steep to bear paying because it pushes back your hair appointments and anyone asking you to pay that price for your own personal safety and the safety of everyone around you should commit seppuku for the sheer insult of it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
