He says that they will be recording the license plates of those daring to defy the ban, and the health department will be issuing 14 day mandatory quarantines. I\u2019d rather them hit them where they really live, by levying fines on churches and church members breaking the stay at home order.<\/p>\n<p>It is horribly boring and frustrating to be forced to stay home, but it\u2019s important and it\u2019s already starting to have an effect in lowering infection rates in some places.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s a thought. What are you watching during this time? Are you finding yourself streaming things you would normally not watch. Yes, I have watched a few episodes of \u201c90 Day Fiance\u201d. I am seeing everyone praising \u201cTiger King\u201d but I was only able to stomach one episode because of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/nature\/blog\/the-truth-about-tiger-king-and-cats-in-captivity\/?fbclid=IwAR3iLmE9lGPOPHg7nXlMgn0YsN8tXdIkv1OAEGXlWXRchiKpiv4MiGt4OJs\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the issues of animal abuse<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/04\/10\/entertainment\/tiger-king-netflix\/index.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Everyone seems to love it<\/a> except for a few of us.
