Those opposing the gov’t issuing “shelter in place” etc orders overlook how many people were going to do exactly that without gov’t directive. I was about 1 week from doing so, just hoping schools would close before I felt compelled to make the move to protect family. LOTS of people were on the cusp of stopping most socioeconomic activity, which would have mass-panicked into broad shutdown anyway. Best if gov’t can sanely coordinate what the herd is about to do in fear.

My lady and I were already avoiding close contact with others in self-defense as we are both at risk both health and age wise. We are not stupid. We do not need government nannies to tell us what we need to do. . . and we especially don’t need the government mommy to ORDER us what to do.
