We've been self-isolating. None of the task force guidelines carry the force of law. This is an extreme measure that should be strictly scrutinized and as narrowly tailored as possible, unlike the heavy-handed universal approach some leaders are taking where the data doesn't support such a drastic response.

Chicago for one. Lil' Mussolini the mayor and her henchman are threatening to take people into custody after a warning, then a citation.

A huge # of people are thumbing their noses at this highly unconstitutional BS.

Meanwhile leftists call Trump a dictator when he's actually been trying as hard as he can NOT to act like a dictator.... delayed invoking the DPA, refusing national lockdown, etc

In Alaska, we have less than 100 cases statewide, and our largest cities are ghost towns...

It’s fucking moronic.

In order to know how to properly plan for this they need a baseline measurement to know how far the virus has spread. 15 days should be one day past the maximum incubation period for the virus, so anyone now showing symptoms should be self-isolating and taking all the precautions. Plus they haven’t spread it to more people.

Once they get this baseline then they can make better decisions on where the disease may pop up, and under what conditions, so a large portion of the country can safely return to work.

That seems to be the plan they’re working on anyway. The President said he’ll most likely have a decision on Tuesday, since Monday is the last day of the initial phase of the plan.
