Yes if the government tells you "sir, you are not allowed to make a living" they should be making you whole by paying your wages until you may return to work. Unfortunately that's socialism, and was never seriously considered.
You point is well made. I would mention that at the moment Ohio hasn't re-opened day cares across the board and schools are closed. That means that many people can't go to work because there is no one they can get to watch their children. IIRC those people are allowed to remain on unemployment until the day cares are re-opened. I think that's reasonable.
My opinion on the matter is that I do believe we should get free happiness money and if this is the mechanism by which we'll temporarily get it, I'm fine with people using bad-faith arguments in order to get it. EVERYONE uses bad-faith arguments these days, and I don't see why people shouldn't be gettin' while the gettin's good.
Dislaimer: My wife and I work from home and have not drawn unemployment during the crisis. In fact, I don't think either of us have *ever* drawn unemployment. The only time I was ever laid off, I already had a job lined up the following Monday.

In fact the Atlanta Falcons we're found to have been doing this.

Any? The fact that you say "he isn't Hitler or Stalin" implies there is some limit.
I take no position on Rand Paul, but reasonable people do hope that certain people would die for having differing political views. For instance members of the German Nazi Party and members of the Soviet Communist Party.
They are considering that in Ohio.
That's pretty smart thinking. You figure all the experts who have made it their life's work to study pandemics would have thought of this, but gatkinso on
Have you brought this to the NY Department of Health or did you just post it here in the hopes they'd see it?
As a conservative, I'm sure they don't want you there.
If any level of government tried to enact a quarantine of a city, county, etc., people would shoot their way out. That's why it won't be tried.
I think that'd be great.
