Those of you that know me know that I am an advocate for freedom and normally I would be against any efforts to minimize that freedom. However I also believe that freedom requires responsibility, and we should maximize that freedom as long as it does not hurt others. In this case, it certainly seems logical to minimize human movement in an effort to not spread the virus and avoid unnecessary trips.
Thanks Patrick!
