I'm an electrician and work mostly in St Louis or one of the surrounding suburbs.

Today I was working near Kings Highway and I-44. The street was packed with cars because of the work stoppage. The street was also crawling with bikes, strollers, joggers, dog walkers... It had more of a feeling of summer than "quarantine."

Quarantine used to be put in place to keep people with a disease segregated from everyone else and had accompanying signage similar to this.

This seems to me to be a mostly media driven hyper reaction to an illness. There is reason to be concerned for sure but the media has been proven time and again to lie about hospital lines, infection rates and even deaths. You can do your own research on this. Just be sure to check resources other than the alphabet networks.

There are a lot of interesting stories on Twitter, BitChute and even YouTube though you may have to do a little digging to find them.

These observations apply to the States only. YMMV
