Stay at home orders for all the above last days, not three months. Besides, they're not state wide and don't inhibit freedom of movement across the entirety of the country.
It would be an easier pill to swallow if the conditions for the orders didn't keep changing. Viva Frei put is best:

"It went from “flatten the curve” to “find the cure”. From “social distancing” to “house arrest”. From “2 weeks” to “3 months”. From “we’re in it together” to “snitch on you neighbors”. From “individual liberty” to “comply or pay fine”. We lost the target. And government knows it."

If you're willing to accept this then there is no limit to what you'll let government get away with.

One side's political persuasion is opening while the other is staying under lock down. We'll find out in a couple weeks who was right and who was wrong.
