I just find this idea viscerally revolting. All I can think of is armbands with the Star of David.
I don’t believe there can ever be any justification for mass restriction of movement in society, because such is a roadmap for tyranny.
However I need only make the case there clearly isn’t justifiable ends in our current pandemic. What we have found is a minuscule and highly stratified extreme-risk population (mostly, nursing homes) and a vast majority for which COVID is the least of their concerns. Much more pressing a concern for the masses is getting back to their jobs, their so-called “elective” procedures, and resuming healthy socialization and recreation patterns.
What we need, and what the Constitution requires are strictly targeted measures to keep COVID out of nursing homes, and for everything else to re-open.
Mass restriction of movement and mandatory testing is neither legal, nor is it conscionable.
