I read in the local newspaper today that my local county commission basically placed me under house arrest as of 8 a.m. this morning. They say I can go out to get food or medical attention. All other actions that yesterday would have been considered normal human activity will be questioned. I reside in a Georgia county of 150,000 people that has 12 confirmed cases of Covid19, also known as coronavirus. Nevertheless, the county commission and the cities within the county are rushing to pass ordinances ordering all 150,000 of us to “voluntarily shelter in place” and mandatory closings of all “non-essential” businesses.
