Like people who choose to ignore it, should be arrested and held for the quarantine period. And the fines should be an order of magnitude higher than the cost of quarantining. And there should be no "fly into Buffalo and drive across" loophole.
This seems very straight forward.
I'm sorry, why is this objectionable. There is a requirement to quarantine when you return from traveling, why should people be permitted to endanger our community, by ignoring this requirement? A fine doesn't solve the problem, it might help incentivise better behaviour.
Ultimately I see it this way, one must quarantine, if they prefer to do so in a hotel, they can. If one prefers to do so in a jail cell, well, that would be their choice too. We lock people up for far longer, for far less justifiable reasons. The ONLY difference I see, is in the wealth and privilege of those who are subject to these consequences.
I can't believe that folks wouldn't agree with this. Yes, we need to get community transmission in check. But look at the freedoms that Australia and NZ enjoy right now. Why would anyone NOT want that?!
