Getting rather Gestapo-lite in Mississippi

Mississippi’s top health officer, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, issued a statewide order Tuesday afternoon that people diagnosed with COVID-19 should isolate immediately at home or face fines or jail time.
The order applies to all Mississippians.
“We have a lot of COVID activity throughout the state right now, so it is absolutely critical that anyone infected with COVID-19, and not hospitalized, must remain in the home or other appropriate residential location for 14 days from onset of illness (or from the date of a positive test for those who are asymptomatic),” Dobbs said in a press release.
Under state law, anyone suffering from COVID-19 who willfully violates Dobbs’ order can be charged with a felony because it is a life-threatening disease. On conviction, a violation is punishable by up to five months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

50th in education, first in obesity
maybe missisippians should try thinking outside the box, since what they've been doing this last 150 years hasn't really been working
just a thought

If you’re knowingly going around public with COVID, I see no reason that you should not be fined or punished

Other states: release inmates early because of coronavirus and prison overcrowding
Mississippi: Let’s put more people in jail that actually have coronavirus
Classic Landmass

Didn't "they" say wearing a mask would prevent others from getting your spray droplets?

Do their jails have the capacity to isolate those people?

Well, at least forcing people WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED with the virus is more reasonable that forcing healthy people to quarantine

It would be nice if people just weren’t assholes, but that is probably asking too much

The OT: WHY NOT QUARANTINE THE SICK AND HIGH-RISK?
Also the OT: YOU CAINT MAKE SOMEONE STAY HOME JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE COVID! THAT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

When the shutdown first started, wasnt everybody here complaining to only quarantine the sick and let everybody else continue as normal

Can't get diagnosed with COVID if you never get tested
