I submit that people are sovereign. We individually have behaviours as endemic to us as our physical bodies, and these include attaining the necessities of life. I worked yesterday, and will likely work again tomorrow. I am not property, and your rights do not include subjecting me to house arrest.
That being said, I am severely practicing physical separation from others, in order that any infection I or others have not be transmitted. Good people will seek to protect society while conducting their affairs.
Regarding seed availability, I would far rather have seeds I do not need than need seeds I do not have. The future is uncertain, harvests have sucked, and the economy is incomprehensibly broken. Massive plagues afflict global herds, with three major food animals under threat of annihilation today, pigs, chickens, and ducks are all being ravaged by viral pandemics right now.
If you try to buy chicks online now, you will not be able to secure them for ~two months, according to my research.
Food security is severely in question. You will be responsible for food supplies available to you going forward. I hope you undertake to ensure you will have food. I advise against trusting that legacy food supply mechanisms will nominally cope with present disruptions.
To bad many don't share your enthusiasm in that regard, they think they have a right to run around and inflict themselves upon anybody.
I already took your advice in that regard, end of last year I bought a lot of seeds for vegetables that are now in the freezer downstairs. We've (my grand kids and I) have already taken some on their last visit here and planted them in starter containers and most are coming up quite well....now it's just getting the weather to decide to warm up a bit. This year will be my first watching videos and learning canning techniques. When my kids were young I always had a garden but I froze most of what I grew as it was just the two of them and myself, now the family has expanded quite a bit so investment in learning to can is a more viable option.
I haven't read that in regards to locations here in the US more so than overseas. We did have some concern over chickens a few years ago and strict protocols were put into place to safeguard farms, that went even as far as to restrict who had access inside the buidlings.
We have one family friend whose overloaded with chicks right now, the kids half sister just bought some baby chicks. Might be more the larger than local sellers struggling to fill orders
I think it may be a viable concern coming over the next couple of decades to teach the kids how to grow and preserve food.
Good people, not all people, safeguard society as best they can. I hope you're surrounded by the former, and the latter remain far from you both physically and in effect.
