If you live in the US, try to avoid going outside until this is over. TB is an airborne disease and only through constant communication and tracking of the disease have we been able to keep it down, a bigger push could have eradicated it but instead you're getting a decrease in communication and tracking of all diseases, including TB. Kansas has had and outbreak of it and so long as we don't know where it's spreading to, there's no way to know the odds of catching it until you've caught it.
I don't know what reason there is for shutting down communication, seems like a bad move given how miscommunication and disinformation caused covid to be particularly devastating to countries that didn't follow their own rules and regulations for not making outbreaks political. If bad information causes problems, what do you think no information will cause?
So, you know the drill, in the event nothing changes this week, buy toilet paper and be ready for other countries freezing travel from the US.

"Why would they do this?" Because pain and suffering is the entire point. It's their goal.
Why fight your enemies directly when you can effectively hack their brains?
Why do you think that all governments were going in an authoritarian direction? Because technology forced them in that direction. Look up the MIT paper Electronic Communities: World Village or Cyber Balkans (it's free, oddly enough), and you'll see we're living in the Cyber Balkans portion of the paper. It basically all but outright said that strict regulations on the internet was necessary. The sad thing is that freedom of information isn't a tool against tyranny; it's a tool FOR tyranny, paradoxically enough.
That's why practically all my fiction settings have governments (even 'good guy' governments) that look quite authoritarian in our (present) eyes. A certain level of information and speech control and the complete outlawing of privacy is (sadly) necessary.
