There aren't enough tests, and we need time to scale out the testing. So a 3-4 week period to put a tight clamp on transmission is probably not a bad idea.

Frankly, I expect in 3 weeks people won't need the order because it will be like Italy and people will be terrified to go outside. But at that point, you STILL have 3-4 weeks before things turn around.

Going outside and congregating outside are different things. Surely a walk outside is okay as long as we keep our distance from others.

I'm going to go ahead and say going outside should still be permissible (at least right now).

This doesn’t put a tight clamp on it. We’re not systematically testing and quarantining so this is more akin to a light tap on the breaks. The UK PM wouldn’t even venture end of June as his most optimistic forecast for returning to normalcy. Prepare yourself.
