By all accounts, hundreds of millions of us are confined to home despite being perfectly healthy. The purpose of all of this, we're told, is to make sure that we do not bump into people infected with the coronavirus.
The wise people forcing us to do so owe us some evidence that in fact the virus is out there in sufficient quantities to merit draconian measures. They point us to deaths in New York hospitals, and growing numbers of positive test results. But those presumably were infections that occurred weeks ago (perhaps also some false positives).
Smart thermometers suggest that hardly anyone has had a fever for a couple of weeks now. Perhaps this data is faulty or easily misinterpreted, but the wise people owe at least an explanation to the hundreds of millions of people paying the costs of their policies.
The time to be at home is when there is lots of virus outside. That does not appear to be now.
