Even if stepping out of your comfort zone or suspending your personal beliefs for a short period of time would ensure your loved ones survival? Isn't that what the millions of brave soldiers did on the battle field? Their goal was to band together to fight off a common enemy threatening their loved ones way of life. I'm all for freedoms and freedom of choice but in situations of this nature fully exercising those freedoms at your individual will may also condemn others who may not share your willingness.

"To close everything down unavoidably leads to economic and social disaster. Given the lack of means to apply the best strategy (detection – confinement – treatment), resorting to a lock-down is archaic and hardly effective, but it was the only one possible."

Interesting article worth reading. I do believe at this point social distancing / Stay-At-Home is the best we can do. Here on Hilton Head Island our Mayor was inviting tourists up until recently. No longer welcoming them but they are still coming
And this is the kind of activity that will continue to give the virus a playground to perpetuate its growth. For the past 20 years I've made an annual trip to Hilton Head Island with a close group of friends at this time. We cancelled this year with the express intent of not potentially bringing an unwanted passenger with us to share with the good people of SC or bringing one back home. Good Luck to you and your family.
