# If libertarians were in power, what could they do to fight back…

If libertarians were in power, what could they do to fight back against Covid? Here\'s a few suggestions, in no particular order.\
\
Eliminate mask mandates. Instead, launch public relation campaigns explaining the currently available evidence for the efficacy of masks. Same for vaccine mandates.\
\
Encourage FB, Google, and Twitter to stop censoring \"wrongthink\", and forcing the tech firm staff\'s beliefs on their users. Instead give \_users\_ tools to better control what \_they\_ want\_ to read.\
\
Drop work visa requirements for medical personnel, so that teams from the rest of the world can travel to hot spots and assist with spikes in cases.\
\
Drop medical licensure requirements for Covid nurses/specialists. Instead, allow new Covid specialists to apprentice while working on the job.\
\
Encourage those most at risk (elderly, immunocompromised ) to self isolate, while allowing those at low risk to continue to work. (The GBD\'s \"Focused Protection\" strategy.)\
\
Establish a prize for the first team to develop a vaccine that works long term without an annual booster shot.\
\
Drop FDA regulations that delayed Covid testing for months.\
\
Drop FDA regulations that delayed vaccine release for months.\
\
Encourage prominent scientists on \_all\_ sides to collaborate on the design of robust studies that no reasonable person could accuse of bias.\
\
Eliminate zoning laws that block/slow the construction of new housing, so that those whose businesses / jobs have been destroyed can more easily afford housing.\
\
Set up non-profits that provide assistance to those at high risk (elderly, etc) who are self-isolating.
