Ankle Bracelets

Apparently in Louisville, if you break COVID - 19 quarantine, you get fitted with an ankle bracelet, and made to stay home. It sounds like a logical response.
Those screaming about the loss of liberty obviously have no sense of history. Compared with what America has done in the past to those with smallpox or the Spanish flu, people are being quite tame now. And honestly, if you test positive for a contagious disease and then put others at risk, you should be charged and tossed in jail.
100 years ago, people with contagious diseases obeyed quarantine orders, often in a place of the state's choosing. If not, they were lucky if the police got to them first.Now we are much kinder and more sympathetic. The result, instead of thinking about their families and community, everyone is running around licking groceries in order to get some hits on Facebook, and because no one can tell them what to do.
When the Founding Fathers stated that our system of government was only fit for a moral people, they didn't mean that only a moral people could keep the government in check. They meant that a moral people could have a relatively free form of government. An immoral people need constant draconian laws if they aren't going to destroy everyone and everything around them.
When you look at the fact that Louisville has 10% of the Commonwealth's population and almost 50% of the cases, you can see why the government there thinks that ankle bracelets are a good idea.
