a) The "hospitals being temporarily shuttered across the US" is some kind of nonsense, the kind of thing Fox News will fabricate. The US medical system has been broken for years, so rural hopsitals have been closing for years, leaving people in those areas with no emergency care whatsoever. New York is having it the worst, having to open emergency hospitals and such; but, no, there are not all these hospitals shuttering now.

b) If they tried those drones in a lot of the US, they would be shot down. I have to admit I'd probably bring a butterfly net and try to snag it. As a few others have said, here in the states, first there'll be actual police out, not some drone remote-harrassing people. Second, they'll use common sense, hassling people doing stupid things involving large groups or standing way to close together, not people trying to get out and take a walk.
