The unnecessary travel thing and the "don't go to your cabin in the UP" thing show good intentions and are a very good idea, but they are also next to impossible to enforce.
I haven't heard of anyone pulled over to ask where they were going/no other reason.
While this stuff is no joke, best I can offer is "do what you need to do, but be really careful".
If you do get pulled over, you could always stick your head out the window and have a coughing fit.....
