You don’t understand. Until now, all quarantines only affected THOSE WITH INFECTIONS. There has never been a mass order against anyone not infected. THERE IS NO LAW FOR THIS. There is no health code around this.
All governors or the president can do is “encourage.”
Get your head out and read your history and law.
Legally speaking of course you are simply wrong.
The proof that these guys hve the legal authority to make these stay at home orders is the FACT that NOT ONE lawsuit has been filed and won where it was alleged that public health and governors do not hve the legal authority to take such actions.
Keep in mind, their legal authority is totally separate from whether it was a good idea, or an idea that even worked. We Are speaking solely on the legal authority. Your statement that there is no law is simply wrong. There is a number of laws aNd every state has them. And if you actually read the governors orders they cite those laws for any moron to read and see for themselves tht a criminal penalty attaches to violating those orders. Most of the orders specifically state that the violation is a crime.
Feel free to make the argument that stay at home orders dont work. But the courts have already stated over and over again that the orders are valid. The only times the orders are not valid is when they discriminate for no good reason, or the purpose is unnecessary or too extreme. But those are different arguments than whether the government can impose health code restrictions.
