Freedom, in America, the US at least, is freedom to live life in liberty to pursue happiness free from government interference.
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler

“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”
- Jefferson Davis

That is correct, your rights stop where mine begin.
Freedom also means that because you don't like the color green, that you have no right to tell me I can't like the color green. I can't tell you who you should love, and you can't tell me I have to allow substances injected into my body.
The core of it all is you or me going to the government to persuade law makers to enforce any of the above personal demands, is a curtailment of freedom. Coercion is the government's game, at the behest of individuals.
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison

Not surprising that they're demonizing freedom. The whole point of this coronavirus response is to greatly reduce freedoms in the West.
