I went to pick up an to-go order yesterday and was surprised to find the local mall parking lot still full (U village) and people sitting in restaurants, with no care for keeping distance from each other. Ditto for the grocery store.

We asked: they're preparing to institute mass isolation/quarantine, patrolling streets to "remind" people to stay at home. It isn't a question of "if" such measures will become necessary, it's just when will a country accept this, and how many extra deaths will be caused in that interval.
