I'm not talking about lockdown laws. I'm talking about observing proper quarantine procedures. If you are leaving your house for any reason, you are not properly quarantining even if you aren't violating lockdown laws, and you are actively _part_ of the reason your state "has one of the highest new-cases-per-day number". I am under a proper, strict quarantine. > Your choice. You failed to plan, so you planned to fail. Hi, I have considerable disabilities and cannot operate a motor vehicle under any circumstances. Engaging in victim blaming really doesn't make you look good.

If no-one left the house, there would be no food, water, or electricity. Your argument breaks down at this point. You are, apparently, a reasonably intelligent person capable of highly-structured thoughts. Survival in the world is not guaranteed, and it is your responsibility to work around hardships you encounter. Please refrain from the "victim" word, as this is just the hand of cards you were dealt. We all have a hand of cards that we have to play. Nobody's life is perfect. (Just saw your profile. Let me know if you need me to drop off anything, we are allowed by Abbott to go out -- he's in a wheelchair and still makes it happen.)

  (replying here because in your flagged post you asked for lockdown laws that prevent you from going out to buy food) In BC and probably most of Canada, you have to quarantine for 14 days when you enter the country. You are not allowed out farther than your front yard/balcony, and you need to sign a form before you enter claiming that you acknowledge this and have arranged all necessary plans in advance to allow you to get the food and medication that you'll need. The penalty for violating this is $750,000 and/or six months in prison.

    (Ah, yes, flag when you disagree. How does one challenge a flag?) There are similar quarantines for individual States in the U.S.A., or at least there were. However, once you've exited the true quarantine period, there are no restrictions on movement. In _this_ thread, the poster to whom I'm replying asserts that we are under quarantine in Texas, which we are not. Most of the restrictions from the State, counties, and local government apply to businesses, not to individuals. The recent face-covering order is a good one, to prevent coughing, sneezing, or just forceful talking from spreading to someone in front of you. However, we're free to move about as needed, as we should be. Anyone who wants to go 100% isolation, that's fine and I have no qualms. However, I prefer to take a few more calculated risks and live some semblance of my former life before the COVID-19.
