It's to keep as many people out of circulation as you can so you don't overwhelm hospitals as the infection spreads. It's what they mean when they talk about "flattening the curve". It doesn't matter if some people are ignoring it and acting like idiots, as long as a substantial number of people aren't ignoring it, and aren't acting like idiots. It's also worth remembering that some places are way worse off than others right now. In New Jersey, you can definitely see a pretty significant shift in behavior, helped by the fact that literally nothing other than essential services are allowed to be open, and you can't even grocery shop at this point without wearing a mask (whether you want to or not). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
