Stay-at-home orders were executive [[diktat]]s by governors or county officials commanding people to remain at home during a prolonged period of weeks or months, such as during an alleged public health emergency. These orders have been used largely by [[liberal]]s in public office to attempt to illegally close churches and gun stores, in violation of both the [[First Amendment]] (covering the freedoms of religion and assembly) and the [[Second Amendment]] (covering the right to lawful gun ownership), as well as many stores, movie theatres, restaurants and schools, and usually have exemptions for [[abortion]] clinics<ref>[https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/490247-judge-blocks-texas-from-banning-abortion-as-part-of-coronavirus Judges block Texas, Ohio, Alabama from banning abortion as part of coronavirus response]</ref> and liquor stores. These orders often have dubious constitutional or legal authority; in fact, the same liberal public officials who hand down those diktats against the public frequently disregard their own mandates to do whatever they please (such as dining out in public) due to them being the liberal [[elitist]]s that they are.
As of April 5, 2020, only nine states had not issued stay-at-home orders: [[Arkansas]], [[Iowa]], [[Nebraska]], [[North Dakota]], [[Oklahoma]], [[South Carolina]], [[South Dakota]], [[Utah]], and [[Wyoming]].
Penalties during the coronavirus crisis in 2020 were initially rare (so far), but have increased with the arrest of a pastor in Florida for holding a church service in alleged violation of a stay-at-home order issued by Hillsborough County,<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/us/florida-pastor-arrested-river-church/index.html</ref> even though he took numerous precautions against spreading the virus.
30 to 50 percent of heart attack patients did not receive treatment. 85 percent of live organ transplants were not performed. "We have been uniquely willing to sacrifice our children out of fear for adults," said Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow at the [[Hoover Institution]] and former [[White House]] covid advisor.

===Texas===
While many of the worse shutdown orders have been by [[Democrat]] governors (most notoriously including New York's [[Andrew Cuomo]] and Michigan's [[Gretchen Whitmer]]), [[Texas]] [[Republican]] Governor [[Greg Abbott]] has prohibited much necessary medical care to its residents as part of his lockdown, despite largely empty hospitals. Gov. Abbott, not really a [[conservative]], is posturing for a presidential run in 2024.
