You may be technically correct, but one thing this pandemic has taught us is that "forcing" people to do something isn't going to accomplish anything.
The best (only?) approach for the current situation is to raise the alarm and remind people who "know" that they should be more careful to be vigilant and more conscious of it I.e. people who've been lax because they were aware that there have been no cases in Lakewood.
@Yard sale is correct, at the current numbers there is no point in trying to "waste bullets" and strong arm people to do something which they won't listen to anyways.

It seems to be nearly useless to try and convince those who are in denial mode to try and be a little more cautious. For those who would try to be cautious but let down their guard during this period of calm, and to those who aren’t completely set either way, here is some new information.
PSA
My father spoke to one of the more prominent Lakewood doctors tonight (feel free to PM for the name). He informed my father that there is seemingly a large silent outbreak beginning to circulate in Lakewood once more, after months of virtually no spread. He said that 2 weeks ago there were suddenly 12 new cases (a spike after many weeks of far less). Last week, 25. This week, already more than 40 confirmed new cases as of this morning.. he also mentioned that according to his experience of speaking to contacts who were exposed, most people (even with some mild symptoms) are choosing not to test. These numbers also don’t account for the incubation period in people who may not have developed symptoms, asymptomatic carriers, and people who are still awaiting results. He believes that we are a lot closer to March than most currently believe, but doctors are worried about sounding the alarm because of the possible damage to their credibility.
One more point- he doesn’t believe there is ANY evidence that new cases are milder. Most of those tested are somewhat younger and there haven’t been that many new confirmed cases yet, but this is how it started originally as well... there were hundreds or thousands infected before the first hospitalization.
Again, if you want to bury your head in the sand, go ahead. This is a PSA for those who want to hear legitimate updates.
