Federal mandatory isolation is needed now

1 points by greg7mdp 6y ago ↗ HN

The number of daily new cases in the US shows that we still in exponential growth (see https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/). I fear that this administration is resisting the drastic measures needed to prevent an Italy-like catastrophe. Any thoughts?

America takes the phrase, "Give me liberty, or give me death" very seriously. It's unlikely we'd be ok with massive federal clampdowns on our personal behavior. We also are a nation of 50 states with their own (differing) rules and governments and we aren't likely to usurp that system because of this.
