Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic answers.

What should the government do to combat the COVID-19 pandemic?

It's a good question that a lot of people are asking, but an equally important question

that not enough people are asking is this.

What should the government not do to combat this pandemic?

Or what should the government not do in general even when it's faced with a problem or it's

trying to promote the common good, the greater good?

What should government not do?

What are some freedoms that are inviolable, inalienable, that we ought not give up for any kind

of greater good?

That's what I want to talk about here on the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic answers, aologist and speaker, Trent Horn.

And right now, of course, we're dealing with an unprecedented time in our nation's history,

in the world's history when it comes to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

So what I'm concerned about is that there are some people who are so focused on the problem

that they only see the problem and think we got to do whatever it takes to stop this

problem.

And it's a serious problem.

It definitely deserves a serious response.

But when you adopt the mindset of do whatever it takes, you can end up endorsing some

very dangerous solutions in order to secure the policy initiatives that you want.

We always have to remember what Ian Malcolm said from Jurassic Park.
