There is no reason for most states to force quarantines and shutdown of the economy. This is totally bogus. There is no exponential growth if people return to work and are doing the overrated social distancing. Let's return to sanity. We are taking instruction from the communist-minded governors, the compromised Fauci, the dishonest media, and the corrupt WHO. No one here even likes to investigate these details.
California has ~50K confirmed cases and a population of ~40M.
Texas has ~30K confirmed cases and a population of ~29M.
California was the earliest to enforce social distancing and is keeping it in place. Texas was later to the party and has already started relaxing the requirements. How much do you want to bet Texas overtakes CA cases per resident over the next couple of weeks? Then we can discuss whether social distancing works as an emergency measure to slow the growth.

And, if the 14 day or 90 days of quarantines did not stop a virus, there is no reason to quarantine people any longer.

The previous link is where I added the countries to the graph to show comparison. I clicked on the link in the previous post that showed the comparison and it worked. If you want compare you have to add the countries.
