14. In Kentucky, we have to be the COVID-19 police.

We have mandatory safety requirements for all businesses but there's no means for state officials to monitor compliance. In other words, Kentucky has no existing monitoring mechanisms in place to handle pandemics and our Republican legislature would never budget for that system. Heaven forbid we ever raise taxes.

So, when our citizens see a non-compliant business, we have to go on-line and report it and hopefully the state Department of Health will investigate. Theoretically, they can close down non-compliant businesses.

I would guess many other states have similar orders in place.

It's like the Wild West of disease control....... ........
