I think the crux of the problem is that folks are not trusting authorities anymore, and information, sometimes conflicting is coming from everywhere. No single unifying source has appeared to keep folks on common ground, especially since this is a rapidly changing situation, and what was thought to be true 2 weeks ago is no longer considered true. Our local library is holding returned items in isolation for 72 hrs before returning them to general circulation, which seems to be in line with what I've seen most experts recommend currently.

There's a lot of variation in even well-intentioned "expert" information out there. And, in any case, people need to make their own risk assessments. I'm not going to tell you that you're not allowed to literally lock yourself in your house. But I'm not going to do so (under my and my location's current conditions). And not everyone is in a position to independently evaluate from first principles what precautions are appropriate and which are insufficient, unhelpful, or excessive.
