Good luck with that.
There may sometimes be consequences to exercising your soveign authorities and fundamental rights.
Sometimes such consequences are very significant.
Notwithstanding any consequence, the right remains to resist, to live your own sovereign authority.
How you choose to live your own authority (within the bounds of your capacities), is a matter for you, the individual human.
One thing to keep in mind - the consequences for exercising any particular right (/freedom), may vary depending on the number of people exercising that right. For example, one individual protesting by marching in opposition to the lock down, will basically be ignored by the media. On the other hand, when dozens or hundreds of individuals gather in the same protest, the outcome may be quite different: America On The Brink?

Expecting "someone else to fix it" leads to "democracy" and despotism. Living a right individually may carry heavy consequences upon that individual. Collective peaceful protest can shift an empire - e.g. Gandhi.
