Tracking them down is impossible. Telling them in no uncertain terms to stay home is easy. Yes, most of us will get this. The critical part is limiting the spread prior to the initial hump passing. Even at that point, without strict isolation of people exposed to known cases, we are risking another bump that requires a shutdown to control.

I fear if the police fail to enforce, the shaved head militia might step up.
People continue being dumb in Italy so the government continues playing whack-a-mole to try to end the idiotic behaviour. People pull this crap and then complain when the rules are changed to "you cannot leave your own property".

"Italy is slowing industrial production nationwide, while the hardest-hit region of Lombardy banned any outdoor exercise not on personal property and set distance limits on dog-walking. "
"As of Sunday, the maximum radius for dog walking was set at 200 metres, and all outdoor sport that cannot be practiced at home was banned - not because sports posed a threat, but because people were abusing the freedom of movement.
Authorities in Lombardy also raised fines for violators to 5,000 euros ($5,345)."
"Dog walking remained a valid motivation, but videos popped up on social media of Italians with fake dogs, shaggy stuffed animals on the end of stiff leashes. "
Italy's restrictions grow more specific in bid to slow virus
In its most far-reaching measures to stop the spread of coronavirus, Italy is slowing industrial production nationwide, while the hardest-hit region of Lombardy banned any outdoor exercise not on personal property and set distance limits on dog-walking.

someone enlighten me because i don't see the problem with going out either for a drive in the car or, when the weather gets warmer, a ride...obviously, we don't want to be in an accident and have to go to a hospital for treatment, but putting that aside, i fail to see the problem with this...i also realize getting gas would have to be part of this activity, but as long as we use proper precautions (ie: using paper towels to hold the pump, using knuckles on keypads or immediately using hand sanitizer) and they remain open...not being a smart ass here...maybe i'm just naive (or not thinking this through thoroughly)...
People make mistakes, with 'everyone' out and about the risks sky rocket. I don't think anyone here believes that enough people will take appropriate precautions, especially those who 'feel fine' and could very well be carrying the virus.

Still waiting to see if I get to fly tomorrow. Flight got delayed by 2 hours already....which is weird because it’s more than 12h to the flight....
I’ll be honest....really hoping for a full lockdown so I can stay home.

I don't either, and it would be great to take advantage of the free time and low cost of fuel, and stay away from everyone and be outside.
Hopefully it doesn't come to a full lockdown and the isolation and distancing will help, if everyone gets on board. But we are dealing with heard mentality. If people start to stray others will follow and then we won't have accomplished anything.
So far everyone I have talked to is self isolating, going out only when they need to, including some outdoor activity but alone and not for socializing.
On it's own, it's not a problem, and I've been doing little road trips to get out of the house to maintain sanity, and plan to do the same on the bikes in a couple of days when it warms up.
The problem is the idiots that abuse the privilege. Go on a road trip and meet up with friends and fail to maintain distance, etc. Too many idiots + necessary action = authorities have to come down hard.
And some people are just downright clueless. Just going out for a walk, talk and hug 42 neighbours along the way. Just going to the park to play, oh, theres my friend let's play a little basketball. Etc.
Halton shut the parks yesterday and told people to leave because there were so many people crowded in them. The parking lots looked like yorkdale just before xmas.
In her interview after the sentencing the prosecutor said that she was glad no one fell for his one foot in the grave act
I regularly abuse alcohol because I’m anxiously sleep deprived. Thanks for that list.
In a perfect world, the sentence should be related to the crime, not how decrepit (or not) the criminal is.
I was watching some stupid netflix thing on human behaviour earlier today where they ask 100 people a question. In part of this show, they ask them about appropriate length of sentence. Both groups were read the exact same script regarding the crime (meth lab, cash and drugs found) and shown a picture of the criminal. If the criminal was ugly they were given roughly double the sentence of a pretty criminal.
Snitch line, one way trip to a military base. That kind of person is a danger to us all.
