        I’m stuck somewhere between “That does not seem like obviously proportionate response”, “On a societal scale that’s about as nuclear as you could do without e.g. deploying troops”, “I would bet government wants a Bold Statement”, “Too little & too late if wife is a weathervane.”

        What happens with the kids that don't have a full-time stay at home parent? Or is the assumption that that doesn't exist? 🤔

        This seems like similar to the disproportionate (though still arguably sensible depending on your own point of view) response in many areas of China with only a few or zero cases, yet they still put up giant banners that say “to meet with relatives is to ahem society” and such.
