You're right. There may not be a way to manage this without locking people up and curtailing their rights. I'm not interested in doing that because this virus isn't the destruction of civilization. It doesn't effect 99.9% of people.
Your "by the book" is more like "at any cost." Why not just come out and say that you support draconian and authoritarian measures?
Your quarantine isn't comparable to forced isolation in a facility, right? Surely you can understand how that might damage a child?
Think about the alternative: no quarantine, unchecked spread, lots of people dead.
If there is one country that is doing this by the book it is NZ, and they should be commended for it.
That you try to spin that as a negative is quite a feat.
I've been quarantined myself for two weeks, it wasn't as bad as it could have been and we managed. If I had to go through it again then I would, especially now that I know better how to prepare.
