These democraps are like hammers looking for a nail.
It's unbelievable what lengths they will go to, just to scare the beejesus out of people in order to get people to comply. NONE of this has one single thing to do with "health".
This lie didn't come from the writer of the article. The lie doesn't come from the "underling" local authorities (at least not usually) but from people who THINK they have power (like town councils and "health officials" and jokers like that). They are just bugs to squash, IMPHHO.
Listen to your own senses to tell you what to do, because the numbers are a complete lie meant only for scaremongering.
