How wonderful that Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser wants to limit the continuing spread of the coronavirus by arresting and fining anyone who travels outside their home for reasons other than trips to get groceries or medicines or even just because they might want to hang out on the corner and chat with a neighbor.

Enforcement will be nearly impossible — how will authorities know if I’m going to get groceries or if I’m going to a friend’s home? And once some liberal nonprofit group can demonstrate that the policy disproportionately targets minorities in the community, Bowser will probably abandon it anyway.
