If an American citizen crosses the Oregon-Washington or the New York-Pennsylvania border to shop at a nearby store, that individual might have to quarantine for two weeks. If the U.S. follows Israel's example, a person might have to show a vaccine passport to drink a beer in a pub. The police may be out in force to arrest rule violators for not wearing a mask even outdoors, for sitting on a park bench, for entering a deserted park to play, or for being at a religious service with too many worshippers. So far, no disabled or elderly people or young mothers have died after being tased or knocked to the ground by officers in riot gear-as far as we know, but while shrinking police forces are thus occupied, homicides and other crimes escalate, and many calls go unanswered.
