International quarantines are no fun, but domestic quarantines are worse, by Joanne Nova.

Look at what’s happening in Italy …:

“Italian authorities have implemented draconian measures to try to halt the coronavirus outbreak in the north of the country, including imposing fines on anyone caught entering or leaving outbreak areas, as cases of the virus in the country rose to more than 130. Police are patrolling 11 towns — mostly in the Lombardy region, where the first locally transmitted case emerged — that have been in lockdown since Friday night.”

Three days ago the people living in these areas probably didn’t think they would suddenly be quarantined.
