A group of armed vigilantes cut down a tree and dragged it across a man’s driveway in Maine to force him to quarantine in his home amid fears he could be infected with the coronavirus, officials said.
A man residing on Cripple Creek Road in Vinalhaven, an island off the coast of Maine, called authorities around 3:35 p.m. Friday to report a group of people with guns had cut down a large tree and dragged it in front of his driveway, blocking access to the main road.

I’d say you didn’t read the article.
Nope. Read the article which states that the man “and his two roommates” have been there about a month. Got to wonder about the press tippy-toeing around something else with that language, that might have set the local islanders off as well.
The way that was written you would of thought they shot the tree down.
People are definitely bugging out to their summer homes.
I've seen a bunch of summer homes already occupied, and have seen license plates from FL, PA, NY, and even CA.
My bad.
7 paragraphs in. I didn’t get that far.
I used to summer in Dark Harbor. Happy times.
