How is a public health order can be breached and no penalty! What’s the point as these two elderly demonstrated.
A good example of why pilots aren't public health experts and public health experts shouldn't fly planes.

You have a society with no known recent community transmission. You have a choice.

1. Let anybody and everybody freely get tested if asymptomatic or for the most minor nasal tickle or hay fever or other symptoms and allow them to continue on with their lives uninterrupted until their results come back. This way you have a greater chance of picking up something that is unknown circulating, OR
2. Enforce / mandate people to self isolate after every test. The natural consequence of this is that fewer people will submit themselves to testing as it will come at a financial cost (missed work shifts) or inconvenience for up to 36 hours. This allows the virus gets deeper into the community before it is eventually detected.

Which way do you go?

[Note truck drivers intentionally breaking their directions not to enter public places is a different story].
