Avram,
I don’t have an opinion on mandates. I am blessed not to be a congressman, a policeman, or a school principal, so I don’t have to make decisions on that. I also think this is way politicized and used by parties for their advantage. Enforcing rules is a very delicate area and there are a lot of gemoras discussing whether society will accept, whether people will be confused or negligent as a result.
I am more concerned with my own, and our collective community, human/Jewish obligations and what should we do.
