They can mandate it all they want. To enforce it, wouldn’t Marshall Law have to be initiated?

Yes they can legally force you.

Breaking a formal curfew can end in you going to jail.



Thing is a lot of PD's are now not taking people to jail due to the fears of introducing Kung Flu to the jailhouses.

Give you a ticket of course.

There is a guy in Kentucky that is being held in his home because he tested positive, but wouldn't self isolate.



If he tested positive and wouldn't self isolate, he SHOULD be held in his home. Look at patient 31 in S. Korea.

People need to eat, people need to work to eat. If you have symptoms, you should self isolate and contact a physician to get tested. It's that simple.


It really is.

Yep..Martial Law could be invoked..


They could deploy the military to maintain order under the Posse comitatus which is also know as the "Pussy Communists" for those that saw the movie TANK

Yes. States of emergency allow the government to operate outside the limits of their usual authority in service to the public good.

I live in a town of 900 with no police force that’s 4 miles down a country road to the catfish farm I manage which has a lake half a mile from it.

They won’t keep me home. I may not drive down the highway but they won’t keep me from tending to the farm and going fishing the rest of the time unless they have the resources to shut down a little traveled back road

Also, you're a despicable American and human being if you get the coronavirus and don't self isolate.

The good news it will be extremely difficult to enforce without a full activation of our military.


Agreed... but they could also easily fully activate the military.

The first responsibility of government is to keep the citizenry safe. A pandemic is reason enough for Martial Law to be declared and enforced by the military.

I thought it would be a novel flu virus that would bring this on. Coronaviruses have always been just nasty colds, until the 21st century. Now we’ve seen SARS, MERS and the very infectious COVID-19. They’re proving themselves to be scary indeed.
