The idea I'm saying, is that Americans generally don't like to follow rules when it is paramount to follow rules in this situation.
I traced this back to the founding of either country, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" vs "Peace, order, and good government"
Those who disobey the order can have fines of $750,000 and/or six months in prison.
Yes, these quarantine rules are very serious.
I know, the 14 day quarantine within the states is laughingly enforced, so people probably don't take these things seriously. Although sometimes I wish I lived in Canada...
And that's the thing, if the orders are strongly enforced then maybe all of us could end this and get back to normal.
But as we see, we have people thinking that they should travel around the country during a pandemic. Which leads to more possibility of spread.
Just look at my previous posts on here, I'm perhaps the most pro-American Canadian poster on this forum. But when it comes to this virus, I am horribly disappointed. The border needs to remained closed until all the states can "shape up" and get the situation under control.
Things are NOT back to normal, none of the Big 4 sports leagues are running right now, yes technically only 1 is normally in operation at this point, but the NHL and NBA have not made concrete plans for a restart. Obviously, if pro sports, a place with big crowds can't restart, than why should people think that they have the right to go wherever they want in the country. For the record, only lockdowns and strikes have ever paused baseball, no events of war or natural disaster have effectively shut down the season pretty much "permanently". Yes, I remember 9/11 and I went to the first Jays game after 9/11, but we all knew that things would start to ease up in a week after that horrible day.
As for this time period, we still do not know.
