In a theme that continues to be tragically borne out with each passing day of our government's overbearing, one-size-fits-all coronavirus pandemic response, few things these days seem to actually make any logical or scientific sense.
Stopping there would have lent short shrift to the seemingly endless insane and infuriating inconsistencies of the past two months.
Coronavirus can't kill people if they've already starved to death.
Dairy farmers are literally dumping milk into the ground, yet when my wife and I went to our local supermarket a few weeks ago we were limited to only one gallon - for our family of six, mind you.
Sure, the roads are emptier these days, but when you do venture out to shop at the few places you're 'allowed' to go, have you noticed that your local grocery store, Walmart, Sam's Club, and especially Lowe's and Home Depot all seem to be MORE crowded than ever? Sure, some try to spread everyone out, but it's hard to spread out all that much when you can barely turn around without bumping into some other cabin-fever afflicted citizen just desperate for an excuse to leave the house.
Interestingly, Dr. Marc Siegel, a frequent Fox News correspondent, argued for such a system on air a few days ago.
Perhaps such a system is hypothetical and unlikely to actually happen, but how many things have happened in the past two months that we never thought would? If it came to a choice between being required to continue to quarantine or contracting the virus and gaining one's "Freedom," most low-risk individuals, including myself, would probably choose the virus any day.
