How do you have 27 tabs open???!!!

If our (United States) government is truly forcing anyone to stay inside their home, I will actively protest it. I'd like to know where it is happening, if it truly is.

So are you still willing to "actively protest it"

I agree that does sound pretty drastic. But look at it this way. If a person is mentally ill and has become a danger to themself or others; and if they don't comply with medical procedures to take their medication and to follow through on treatment plans, those individuals can be involuntarily committed to a mental health institution for the safety of all concerned.

Do you object to that?

A person who shows no symptoms of covid but may be actively transmitting the deadly virus unknowingly is a danger to themself and others. If they do not comply with voluntary quarantine requirements, they can be involuntarily quarantined. Drastic circumstances require drastic response, to protect overall societal health and well being.

Apple's and oranges. Not sure how it is in your state but I know here you can't force someone with mental illness to take their medication and you can't institutionalize them either unless they break a law. I know this for a fact cause I've witnessed it.
We also have a pretty cool thing here in NY called cashless bail. Commit a crime and they have to let you free till trial. serial bank robber, a repeat burglar, a man accused of manslaughter, an alleged hit-and-run drunk driver, heck here local had a guy arrested 18 times for violating a order of protection for beating his wife, let go over and over awaiting his court date.
Last yr town I work in dude was arrested for stealing a car, let loose, stole another car out of the parking lot.
I can post the news article if u want.
Riots/burning/looting, no social distancing, they don't have to stay home. Hundreds of thousands many with covid, packed like sardines in facilities that are meant for a fraction of their numbers no social distancing, let loose into our population.
No biggie, I'll just sit my butt home under a ordered mandatory quarantine for a couple more days, even with no symptoms and negative covid test, kinda like house arrest without the ankle bracelet (maybe that's coming next?) prob watching my phone anyway, dang Google knows everywhere I go and everything I say anyway.

They have already determined that asymptomatic people can't spread covid

That doesn't support your assertion.

I highly doubt that if you have it asymptomatic or not pretty sure you can still spread it.

If you're sick stay home. Weather its covid or a cold.
I'd you are not then you should have every right to live life normally.

You are not going to die from covid unless you are high risk, then it's more likely that you could die or have a hard time with it.
The people that are high risk would die of have a hard time with a cold or flu too.

Don't trust the numbers. The tests are very inaccurate and if you ever test positive in your life and later die from any cause, then its counted as a covid death. This is because hospitals get more money from that.

They are using these numbers to scare people into doing what they want and it's working perfectly.

Can you post some links to studies that support this assertion please?

Sorry
I personally knew a person who were not high risk, healthy, but caught covid and died. Never around anyone who was sick, but later were tested and had covid.
Several people I knew have died from covid

I'm not trying to be argumentative just find a lot of frustration with the whole thing (covid) hypocrisy and changing advice and rules/laws.
Remember that meme,
"If you bought 144 rolls of toilet paper in preparation for a 14-day quarantine, you probably should have been seeing a doctor long before coronavirus."
It's been over a year now. ...

Yes I am sure your sick of it. Being on a ventilator isn't worth the risk of ignoring though.
The more they learn, and they still have a lot to learn about it, they changed the recommendation.
