Maybe. I'm not sure that the equivalent of martial law in the manner they do will fly. But if people break quarantine (like the idiot in NH), there needs to be some consequence.
“But if people break quarantine (like the idiot in NH), there needs to be some consequence. “
Every state in the union has a law against breaking an ordered quarantine. And no state in the union prosecutes for it.
And worse, now most quarantine is voluntary/advisory. The county health official doesn’t even bother to issue a formal order.
Criminal negligence, at least.
