Ok, I'll rephrase. Which freedoms are dwindling in your view?
The freedoms of choice. Some like where one can go on a holiday destination, what you have to wear to enter a certain premise, the right to protest against something you believe in, the choice as to whether to have a vacine or not, to name a few

Again i never said it had mate im just listing a few things where freedom of choice has been taken away to some extent. Most are covid related and whether they will improve will remain to be seen. Were you after some other specific cause?
Sorry, i mis read your post goldy, ignore my opening sentence
 
Compared to 3 years ago, my freedom of choice has really dwindled mainly due to coronavirus. Apologies Goldy, i didnt read your post properly and may have got my wires crossed somewhere
