America has changed for the WORSE... we are in DEEP TROUBLE
It has only taken a few weeks, but it HAS HAPPENED.
Politicians and bureaucrats are now exposed as the cunning, POWER MAD, amoral manipulators that they TRULY ARE, and they are determined to enslave the American people AT ANY COST.
We are ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN without any protest.
Ordering the select closing of businesses by State authorities and "shelter at home" orders are blatantly UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The PEOPLE of this nation are the SOVEREIGNS, not elected politicians and bureaucrats. The governments of various states DO NOT HAVE any right to tell anyone what to do or where to stay, as such EDICTS are a violation of the First Amendment's right to freedom of assembly/association. The States are also blatantly discriminating against certain businesses, but not others, which violates the Fourteenth Amendment (Equal protection of the laws).
For those who state that the Bill of Rights do not apply to individual States and their governments - the vast majority of the Bill of Rights has been incorporated against the States, by the Supreme Court, over the past century and a half. Incorporation means that the States are legally bound to respect the rights of the citizens in the same fashion as the Federal government does.
As for the Fourteenth Amendment, it was written specifically with the States in mind, there is no way at all around that one.
That plainly said - don't EVER take my word for ANYTHING - please read the following articles for yourself:

In defense of common sense - authorities used to quarantine homes, yes, for measles, chickenpox and polio - but not entire state populations.
The people are too ignorant of the laws of this nation to realize that. We are ALLOWING the government to make us SERFS - give them an inch - and they will TAKE A MILE.
THOSE WHO TRADE LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER. It is up to YOU to STOP THIS, by circulating these ideas and by civil disobedience.
I will leave it at that - I'm sure there is enough material here for readers to ruminate upon.
