Lockdown

It seems like Democrat governors are getting serious about contact tracing.

I saw a post on Facebook, and it sounded awfully tyrannical.  So, I started clicking around to separate the nonsense from the news, and I found that it is pretty much fact.  Evidently, the Constitution doesn't mean much in Washington State.  Governor Jay Inslee intends to put you on lockdown if you don't cooperate with is contact tracers.
Therefore, those individuals that refuse to cooperate with contact tracers and/or refuse testing, those individuals will not be allowed to leave their homes to purchase basic necessities such as groceries and/or prescriptions. Those persons will need to make arrangements through friends, family, or a state provided “family support personnel.”
State provided "family support personnel"?

What's he going to do?  Post "family support personnel" around the boundary of the property to make sure that you stay inside?  It sounds like what the CCP was doing; lock them in their apartment and not let them out.  Unlock it a month later and see if anyone is still alive.

I'm learning how this contact tracing works and coming up with a plan to "cooperate" with them.

A young officer with Seattle was fired for posting a video espousing respect for the Constitution by police officers.

I suspect Seattle will cooperate with this and the rest of the state won't - but then, most cases are in or near Seattle also.

I notice he doesn't address the huge percentage of cases in nursing homes...

Quarantining ill individuals and their immediate family is the age-old method of containing a epidemic. It is much more palatable than a total lock-down/stay-at-home order vfor the entire opulation.

Quarantines of the past used that method, not universal lock-down, like just happened.
The people who were sick with a highly contagious disease were quarantined, and those suspected of contact with them were quarantined separately until they completed a certain window of time without symptoms.

But what just happened was utter bullshit, and an exercise of "Napoleonic power" by state and local government officials.
