Because the US fundamentally won’t take strong-arm approach is why everyone should be prepared to hunker down in their own homes for a few weeks or even months if there’s a local outbreak.

You can’t trust anyone sick to voluntarily quarantine.

This is why having people working paycheck to paycheck without health insurance is the worst. You can't stay home when you can't afford to. A lack of job security doesn't help either.
