#1 I always remember the cattle burning scene in Hud.

#2 I was visiting in Georgia when this started in February. I have been in lockdown for 21 days because a friend came down with the Virus. I now want to go to my home in Colorado but that requires a hotel stop in Missouri. Can I be prevented from crossing state lines on my drive?

#4 Boss, yes you can be. Governors can do whatever they want right now unless a state court stops them. States are only sort of required to comply with constitutional provisions of the federal bill of rights. Except for 14th amendment penumbras the federal bill of rights only apples to the federal government.

However, practically, no state is going to deny passage through their state to your home.

If they stop you, then you are nearby to potentially cause problems; if instead they let you go, you are out of there in a few hours.

Just be polite, show your id with out of state address and you should be on your way.

#5 And to minimize the number of state boarders you cross, plan to take the Mississippi bridge between Tennessee and Missouri using interstate 55. It cuts out Kentucky and Illinois. Travel safely.
