Canada's status?

If someone knows details re: Canada and can include that would be great. Not sure I have full/complete overview to add to page. Thanks. Torfrid (talk) 18:18, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

World map

I see a USA map. Maybe add a world map. Jidanni (talk) 10:20, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Safer at home

I have seen this term on a web site which would not be a reliable source. What the person said was that some U.S. states are loosening restrictions.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:29, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recentism bloat

This article is supposed to be about the concept of a stay-at-home order, not just a laundry list of what's currently happening. There already is an article on COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns and this needs to be trimmed considerably. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 20:44, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was bold and moved that content. This article shoudld be about the general concept, not a list of the current situation. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 21:12, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

globalize

@JayCoop: You tagged the article that it does not give a global view. Can you give examples of countries that handle the issue differently and/or use different terms from the U.S.? --David Tornheim (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Shelter-in-place vs. Stay-at-home

Finding good WP:RS on this subject isn't easy from using Google, findlaw, and legal dictionaries, and looking at some recent cases. However I did find these:

--David Tornheim (talk) 06:24, 19 May 2020 (UTC) Although from a financial institution, this looks better researched with better sources than mainstream media reporting:[reply]

I can also find news media reporting on the shelter-at-home order. --TadejM ^{my talk} 00:06, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are stay-at-home orders new?

I have searched and I couldn't find any pre-2020 examples of stay-at-home orders, however Mexico went into lockdown in 2009 due to Swine Flu and citizens were ordered to stay indoors [1][2]. . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Myrtonos (talk • contribs) 21:32, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the book The Prophetic Medicine by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (1292 AD-1350 AD ), he explains that "The plague is a punishment that was sent down on some of the Children of Israel and on those who were before your time. So if you hear that it has struck a land do not enter that land, and if it breaks out in a land that you are residing in, DO NOT GO OUT of that area escaping from it." (The citation can be read here)

Translating this part of the text, the french translator adds a footnote observing that "This is what is practiced today regarding epidemics. A sanitary cordon is set up to isolate the place of infection to prevent the disease from spreading and to better monitor and care for the victims of the infection." (The french version can be read here).

So this book can be regarded as the original, ancient source of this kind of precaution. 177.50.61.28 (talk) 00:49, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
