don't want to deal with people doing what they feel is the right thing then don't do the crime.
I'll say the same to anyone endorsing violating the document that bestows authority for laws against crime to begin with, the Constitution. I'm doing what I feel is right and, dare I say, the Constitution and history of this country's founding agrees with me.

Nope, have never snitched on anyone and I'm not about to start now. However if you get up in my personal space I will tell you to back the eff up, and not politely either! (Had to do that once this week already.)

So narc-ing on people is "helping" them.

The Federal government derives its authority for isolation and quarantine from the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code § 264), the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and between states.
The authority for carrying out these functions on a daily basis has been delegated to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Under 42 Code of Federal Regulations parts 70 and 71, CDC is authorized to detain, medically examine, and release persons arriving into the and traveling between states who are suspected of carrying these communicable diseases. As part of its federal authority, CDC routinely monitors persons arriving at land border crossings and passengers and crew arriving at U.S. ports of entry for signs or symptoms of communicable diseases.
When alerted about an ill passenger or crew member by the pilot of a plane or captain of a ship, CDC may detain passengers and crew as necessary to investigate whether the cause of the illness on board is a communicable disease.
Who has the authority to enforce isolation and quarantine because of a communicable disease?

You don't know the circumstances of those kids playing in the field though.
What if they're like my family? We're going nowhere near "granny and grampy" for the duration. It's just us, and we're all young enough and healthy enough that we have a reasonably good chance of surviving this virus if we get it.
Who are you to decide you know our own situations and make better decisions for us than we can?

Snitches get stitches. Perhaps some need reminded of that fact.
