Americans are not likely to adjust well to quarantine

For years Americans have fought, died and been gravely wounded in order to keep our freedoms.  Our country does not want Marshall Law or to be ordered to give up our daily freedoms to work, earn a living and move about freely.  The land of the free and home of the brave is something that is deeply ingrained into the minds of Americans.   Millions of people have died, lost loved ones or have been injured in order to prove the USA stood for freedom and that we were willing to fight for it and even die for it.  The ability for the government to tell businesses to close or be sanctioned with civil or criminal penalties is not much different from Communism.

The argument can be made that it is being done for the the public good but how do you prove this is for the public good when people are losing their livelihood and losing their businesses and homes because of the government enforced shutdown.  The Nevada governor has used his power to shut down people who want to work and do business and he has pressured everyone else to stay home, not socialize, not shop and not to spend money.  He is basically putting Amazon in control of the economy.  They have been so far ahead of the curve on delivery and distribution that the didn't need this boost.  But now businesses that we not prepared or have the infrastructure like Amazon are going to fall farther and farther behind. 

I love Amazon and love shopping on Amazon prime but I still want to see local businesses prosper and survive.  Amazon has control of distribution like no other company has ever had, including Fed ex.  People that are shut down because of the government or out of work because of the quarantine may never be able to recover from this unprecedented excess use of power.
