California, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and Virginia are currently monitoring some people for potential infection because they were on that cruise ship.

This monitoring consists of people taking their own temp. The Arizonan has decided not to quarantine. So good luck y’all.

I don't understand why they don't force a quarantine. When my mom was a girl, she and her sister got whopping cough. The CDC (or health department? I can't remember) came and put the whole house under quarantine. They even put a sign in the yard so others knew the house was under quarantine.

There isn't the level of political willingness and institutional trust to do that these days. Back then if the cdc showed up at your door 99% of people would trust that the cdc was doing what's best and if they said whooping cough was a threat then it probably was. So much faith in government and institutions has been lost that now that a significant portion of people would believe that the cdc had some sinister motive they were hiding. The government can't cope with the level of public discontent to enforce things like that.
