One thing I've just come to wonder is why do politicians get to make these decisions of social isolation over a mere overglorified cold?
If someone doesn't care if they catch it and die, why should they have to self isolate? For protecting vulnerable people who are the ones that should be isolating in the first place?
Two reason that I see. 1) excuse to grab government power 2) trash the economy to reduce Trump's chance at re-election.
I'm sure there are some that think they are doing the right thing, but underlying that I believe it is one or the other of those reason, or a combination of the two.
