Martial law is the imposition of punishments without due process. In no world can one argue that being under the equivalent of house arrest is not a punishment. To impose that punishment carte-blanche on anyone who's traveled domestically is a form of martial law.

I was in New York City and travelled to Tennesse and California and London and Frankfurt in 2020. I went running every other day.

Watch me do it: Punishment implies intent to make you reconsider your behavior due to perceived misbehavior. If I lock a dog in a kennel to protect him from a larger dog and forget to let him out for 5 hours afterwards, I wasn’t punishing him at any point. Unless the government did the „house arrest“ to make you suffer (instead of preventing spread of disease, for example), it’s not punishment.
