As with the rioters in Portland, you're perfectly free to do things that legally compel authorities to give you up-close-and-personal treatment.
Just as the Kentucky couple did.
Title 902, Chapter 2, Section 50 of the Kentucky Administrative Regulations:
“Section 2. Persons. Whenever any person has been implicated as a possible reservoir or possible source of infection of any communicable disease, the local health department or the Cabinet for Human Resources shall employ such measures as are necessary to secure adequate isolation, restriction of employment or other control procedures that may be necessary to insure cessation of transmission of infection.”
and
Chapter 212, Section 245(6) of the Kentucky Revised Statutes:
“County, city-county, and district health departments may:
(6) Issue written orders directed to the owner or occupant of any property, or to any person, firm, or corporation whatever, commanding, within the time and manner specified in the order, compliance with applicable public health laws of this state and all regulations of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services or the county board of health. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section and KRS 212.210, any health officer may institute and maintain mandatory or prohibitory injunction proceedings in the appropriate Circuit Courts of this state to abate nuisances that are or may be a menace to the health of the people of the state or community, and to compel compliance with the public health laws of this state and the rules and regulations of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and the county board of health and the orders described in this section or in KRS 212.210.”
Moral of the story: If you don't like it, leave.
More specifically: Learn your local and state laws in advance, so that if you don't agree with them you can move someplace else before they restrict you from doing exactly that during a public health crisis.
