So, I’m not a prepper, not paranoid, not a doctor either, but What I recognize is the reaction by authorities has to be tailored to the lowest common IQ denominators of society. There’s a lot of dumb people out there who don’t understand germs from granola or virus from violets. And an equal number who a “smarter” than everyone else or don’t care. (Think inner city ranks...Ill leave it at that.).
There are also areas of great population density where the spread of disease is 100fold compared to living in the sticks.
Add all that up and you can see pretty easily why these “over reaching” mandates as some think they are, are needed as they are actually protecting “us” from “ourselves.”
Classic example, stop at a C store yesterday while running errands, for a drink. Could I have waited until I got home? Sure, but Not the point.
I have an iced tea and not really wanting the clerk to touch it, I attempt to hold it for him to scan. He actually takes it from me to scan and then holds his hand over the pop top.
Not a malicious move, but just unaware.
