I've Been Thinking:
This is current Israeli policy:
If you violate self-quarantine you will be arrested, spend six months in prison and fined 5,000 NIS, which is about $1,800.
There are exceptions: You are permitted to go shopping for food, to an essential job, help someone in need.
There are rules:
Only 2 people are permitted in a car, prayers are permitted but only
with a maximum of 10, sports are only permitted 2 players only. You are
permitted to go outside and stand very close to your home.
This is a very stern set of laws and a major limit on citizens’
rights and freedoms. But Israeli leadership has to clamp down in order
to stop the spread of the virus. People especially older people, will
die if they contract the virus.
Many people still do not understand that they are required to
sublimate their personal, selfish, needs for the greater good by staying
inside.
Selfishness is blind in another way, too:
By venturing outside, that very person pursuing their selfish acts
may contract the virus endangering themselves and endangering their
family.
