If I get sick with coronavirus, can Donald Trump make me stay home?

Salon  

President Donald Trump recently appointed Vice President Mike Pence to lead the government's response to the COVID-19 outbreak and control public statements by government health officials about the crisis. Additionally, local health departments have lost 43,000 employees, or 22% of the local public health workforce, since the Great Recession in 2007-2009. This is especially welcome news to state health departments already stretched thin by the day-to-day public health activities designed to prevent and identify outbreaks in the first place. Local health departments in the U.S. were formed in response to local needs as early as the late 18th century, decades before federal public health agencies were established. State health departments often perform these functions as well, but also coordinate local responses, provide technical and financial assistance to the local health departments and run the public health laboratories.
