I am all for a measured (keyword: MEASURED) response to combating COVID-19, but that ship has sailed when you start closing restaurants, banning gatherings, etc.
This response is the equivalent of banning all vehicles/driving to eliminate deaths/injuries from auto accidents.
A key to effective public policy and good governance is measured and reasonable actions that will encourage adherence.
