One pamphlet from an armed group cited by HRW warned, "Those who fail to comply will be held to account under our law with his own life ... Either you comply or you die."
Groups involved in imposing their own restrictions on local populations at the start of the pandemic included the National Liberation Army (ELN), the Popular Liberation Army (EPL), the Gaitanist Self-Defenses of Colombia (AGC), and other "FARC

National Liberation Army

The National Liberation Army (Spanish: Ejército de Liberación Nacional, ELN) is a revolutionary left-wing armed group involved in the continuing Colombian conflict,[7] which has existed in Colombia since 1964. The ELN advocate a composite communist ideology of Marxism and liberation theology. In 2013, it was estimated that the ELN forces consisted of between 1,380 and 3,000 guerrillas.[3][4][5] According to former ELN national directorate member Felipe Torres, one fifth of ELN supporters have taken up arms.[8] The ELN has been classified as a terrorist organization by the governments of Colombia,[citation needed] Peru,[citation needed] United States,[9] Canada[10] the European Union[11] and Venezuela's National Assembly.[12]

Here's some background detail about how Europe flattened the curve and the US didn't. (Parents Advisory Warning: this video contains science.)

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us...-its-reopening

What the video doesn't discuss is how or when the US will reach a position to lift lockdowns safely. To take just one recommended parametre for easing a lockdown safely: your incidence of daily new cases should be at 4 per 100,000 of population. European countries, at their peaks, had between 7 and 9 cases per thousand, so they beat that daily figure down by at least 5 cases before they eased lockdowns. The US is currently at 18 daily new cases, so they need to beat that number down by 14 cases in order to open safely.
On just that one parametre, Trump's bungled leadership means that the US now has to achieve a reduction in daily cases that is three times what Europe had to do. That's a challenge that the present admin may struggle with: that they couldn't get it right first time, when it was easier, is not encouraging.
