The road to hell is paved with good intentions. This is clearly a serious health matter and yet, I would urge you to read the second and third paragraph in the above story. Does it make sense? School has been dismissed, the students have been told to go home and "self quarantine" for 14 days. The next paragraph says siblings and other family members may leave home at their discretion...HUH? Now couple this with students with potential exposure not going home or leaving home and visiting at least one local market as well as Garden City...How is this supposed to work? What about those who are over 60, have underlying health issues, and are shopping at the market out of absolute necessity? Have they been needlessly exposed because a directive isn't really a directive? How is this supposed to be enforced? If the Governor declares a state of emergency in the winter and orders only police, fire or medical personnel on the roads and you are stopped and not in that group, you will likely face a rather steep fine...This is worse. How do you enforce compliance? Without it, you are whistling past the graveyard thinking things will improve..Do something.
