Perhaps the benefit would be an increased sense of community.Agreed with essentially all of what you said, but I also question what impact all this non-interaction will have on the fabric of society and connectedness, the bonds we form. Part of the reason I think the political climate is where it's at (among other things) is because of lack of connection to others.
So I just found out that I can’t go to my second home. Even homeowners that don’t reside their must leave.
I highly doubt that this is legal.
Tourists, non-residents ordered to stay out of Gunnison County or face $5K fine, jail time - KRDO
GUNNISON, Colo. (KRDO) -- Gunnison County in southwestern Colorado has a message for tourists and non-residents: stay out or face the penalties. In an effort to combat the spread of C0VlD-19, the county issued an order banning tourism back in March. On April 3rd, the county extended the order to...krdo.com

Summer 'Camp' 5 weeks longHow do you ONLY infect the young?
I think people are seeing the first peak and thinking that's it. Thre'll be more down the line.I dont know where anyone is getting this idea that we're done. We're maybe in the second inning.
I’m sure you are going to see lots of lawsuits after this is over challenging the legality of a lot of what happened. Not that I put a lot of faith in the courts in today’s world. It’s largely a crapshoot based on the political ideology of the judge.
A similar example of this type of behavior was police seizing guns from citizens after hurricane Katrina in violation of the second amendment.
@UnrealCreative mentioned not being able to go on a walk. Alone. Why?
So I was on the phone with @Vigilante yesterday... He said he was at a park with his young daughter, kicking the soccer ball around, not hurting anyone, minding their own business. A cop literally drove up and forced them to leave. The question is why? Vig said they were 400 yards from the nearest person. Way to go... Protect and serve? Nope. Traumatizing little girls... Yep.
Could have been worse:
Former police officer arrested in park for throwing ball with daughter due to coronavirus social distancing rules
The police department has apologized for the arrest, calling it an "overreach."abcnews.go.com
@Vigilante wow that place is packed! Good thing "the law" was there to make sure you were following the rules and keeping society safe. How do these people sleep at night? They probably actually believe that they are making the world a better place with the dumb shit they pull.

You will find that which you are looking to see.
While you all are looking for examples of tyranny and government overreach by searching for news bits from everywhere from Puerto Rico to Minnesota, I am looking for the good in all of this:
Whatever you look for, you'll find. Why not look for the good in this?
- I've got tons more time to spend with my wife and kids
- I can try working my main job from home (and I will literally never again get to do that in my life, as I teach elementary school)
- I've been able to read and work on my side gig, which has absolutely exploded these past few weeks as it involves an online education tool for kids
- I can take the time to eat right and exercise more, including playing sports with my kids
- My calendar is suddenly wide open
- Traffic is way down
- The weather has been beautiful
- I'm saving tons of money in not traveling for Spring Break, not enrolling the kids in various activities, etc.
Closing your eyes doesn’t make what you then can’t see go away.You will find that which you are looking to see.

Keeping your eyes closed still doesn’t make what you can’t see go away.Take the cop story above. I agree with Vigilante: the cop shouldn't have kicked people out of the park. But where some people on here see the cop as a metaphor for government overreach, I see... a bad cop. Or maybe just a cop having a bad day. Maybe he just broke up a group of 30 people playing tackle football in a park a mile up the street, and now he's dedicated to clearing the parks. Maybe he got a directive from above, and he's not good at deciding how to apply that directive wisely. Who knows.
Dr Fauci or Dr Fraud?
Whatever you look for, you'll find. Why not look for the good in this?
Your post was an arrogant dismissal of legitimate concerns.
The government is a collection of individual people. Those people are doing their best to try to prevent a pandemic from spreading. The concerns you are citing should at least be looked at in that light.
Take shutting down businesses: they are shutting down businesses to protect workers who would otherwise be forced to come to work or be fired with no regard for their health.
Take locking the borders: they are restricting non-essential (read: vacation) travel to prevent the dispersion of the Coronavirus, since that's how it got here in the first place.
To take the actions of the president, governors, and mayors out of context is not fair.
Every time the guy opens his mouth the markets drop a few handles. I'm starting to think that Fauci is a Bill Gates proxy. And I'll pass on any solution proffered by Bill Gates.
I try to look at both.
And I understand your point(s) but it doesn't absolve being blind to the complete destruction of rights.
What's next?
Let us commandeer your house for state purposes? Like housing the sick and/or homeless? @biophase already reported that he is PROHIBITED, under threat of arrrest, from visiting his second home. Is that enough of a slippery slope yet? To be prohibited to use property you own, even when it harms no one else?
How about, "get in the boxcar?" (You know, so we can rail you to a quarantine safe zone!!)
But hey, while all that happens, at least the sun is shining and the air is fresh.
