So progressive NYC Mayor Blasio is contemplating a Shelter-in-Place order:
Aside from devastating the NYC economy, consider the unintended consequences. Under the curfew, people are confined to their homes. One thing many people do when homebound is to order out. Delivery pizza and Chinese food, &c. But as I understand it, the lockdown would force all "nonessential businesses" to close. So you couldn't order out.
Of course, you could probably cook your own meals, but then you need to restock, which means leaving home to go to the supermarket. You along with countless others who may be asymptotic carriers.
Keep in mind that families are hotbeds of disease transmission. So if you're confined at home, all your family members may well become infected.
That's is a problem with folks who mindlessly intone the new instant trope about social distancing, as if human existence is capable of being that compartmentalized.
