US Constitutional law is pretty easy. To restrict a constitutional right the government has the have a compelling governmental interest. A pandemic should qualify. However, any action they take has to be narrowly tailored the their goal of slowing the spread of the disease. I don't believe some Governors has narrowly tailored the requirements. Social distancing, masks, washing hands, I get all that. Even disallowing large gatherings, fine. But how do you justify closing wide open public spaces like parks, beaches and such while at the same time allowing people to cram into buses or train cars? One's a moving petri dish. The other is wide open park.
Our transit in Toronto is still running. Lots of signs encouraging the 6ft and social distancing guidance. With so many places shut down or on work from home, transit is not crowded so people can keep the distance. If things get opened up, transit will get crowded and it will be impossible. that probably has a lot do do with why big cities were hit hard. More people in smaller spaces.
