The governments, local, state and federal seem to be in panic mode, worse than the populace.
They institute more actions and if nothing improves dramatically in 24 hours, they panic more and double down. This is having a very ugly snowball effect.
While the seriousness of this should not be understated, at this point the increasing panic of public officials is liable to cause this to become a complete disaster and possibly a SHTF scenario. I fear the government.
I am quite sure, ChildOfThe60s, that you can surmise how radicals would seek draconian measures to stop the dire consequences of Climate Change.
But at least for now they want to save the lives of the most vulnerable - if outside the womb - and are not opposing border control much. Its quarantine, not open borders.
Perhaps they are using their "panic" as a means to expand their power.
