Government no longer inching its way into your homes! They are now taking giant steps!

This is definitely not a terrible terrible idea that we'll agree to during a crisis-induced panic and then it will just never go away https://t.co/Bxe3DDqYwv

I’m all for the social distancing and staying in as much as possible, but this is just too much.

This is NOT OK people! At some point we are going to have to stand up and say no more. https://t.co/nP7WMRs5Gd
