I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

Fair enough. The irony did seem pretty thick.
From what I understand, COVID–19 patients can be asymptomatic for quite some time while still being able to communicate the illness to others. That is a factor that goes against the notion that it is unreasonable to quarantine anyone who is not showing symptoms.
I'm aware of the medical facts. I've been on the conference calls, helped setup one of the testing sites, I'm getting regular briefings.
I've also read the pandemic response guide for my state, and my state's law requires a diagnosis of an infectious disease for a quarantine order.

Forgive me, but I don’t think so. According to the Rules of the Department of Public Health, Chapter 511-9-1-.03, which rely on statutory authority, the Department may quarantine persons exposed to, or reasonably suspected of being infected with, a communicable disease.
Perhaps your concern is that a municipality, rather than the state, has ordered you to stay home; I of course don’t know all the details of your legal situation.
I'd think anybody that chooses to live in the northeastern part of our country gave up on the idea of civil liberties a long time ago.
That aside...
Has anybody been hearing about these FLETC facilities shutting down? And sending their students all over the country, only to reconvene into centralized locations at a later date? What the fuck is the logic in that?
You should see some the plans that got dropped on everybody yesterday. Holy shit.
Another genius move taking place is that banks are closing certain branches. So instead of everybody spreading out, they're all going to select branches because they're all that's open. So bank tellers have to walk around to keep all the pissed off people calm. I noticed that now marked units are getting posted in front of the open branches. As if the SO's and PD's around here are not stretched enough.
I'd love to know the logic behind that one.

Let’s compare. Does Florida allow unlicensed CC? Does Florida allow open carry? No. People can be arrested for doing those things. Guess where people have the liberty to do that? More than one northeastern state.
Yes, I know several people who just left FLETC under these conditions. The logic is that people shouldn’t congregate in crowds (like at FLETC) during a pandemic. As for sending them all over the country, if the government doesn’t want to house them, they have to go somewhere else. Most are probably just going home.
That rule does not allow municipalities to issue quarantines. The state has not even issued a quarantine because state law does not allow people to be quarantined simply to prevent them from catching an infectious disease.
I'm on the conference calls. I'm getting the direct briefings.
That's my final word on this particular topic. I hope that you and everyone else get through this well and prosper on the other side.
