There is an initiative I saw where they encouraged EVERYONE in a town to get tested, symptoms or not... seems shady... just to
Bloat your positive numbers up

Did you feel the same way about H1N1, Swine Flu, SARS, etc? Or are you admitting you’ve been brainwashed by CNN that this is more than the flu?

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



I don't think anyone on the OT was advocating 5 months of prison or thousands of dollars in fines for violation of quarantine.

I didn’t have an opinion on those since I was so young or not born. And from my knowledge they weren’t as prevalent as COVID is.

I think if you knowingly put other people at risk there should be some sort of consequence. If someone that has HIV, and has intercourse with someone else without their knowledge, don’t you think that should be a crime?

This would be setting a very dangerous and unnecessary precedent. This disease is killing a few more folks than the seasonal flu. It's not Ebola or some version of the Hanta virus/Black plague etc that are REAL killers.

Those individuals running the show from behind the scenes are setting a precedent that they can pull out at any time in the future for something as "normal' as the seasonal flu.
I'm not buying it. i had the crap and for me it was akin to a sinus infection and a bad headache. That's it. So to quarantine people in the future for whatever little bug happens to be going around is leaving way too much power and say-so in the hands of people who would abuse this power for their own schemes.

Right the flu can be life threatening, so can Pneumonia. Again... until citizens push back... the Nazi controlled state governments will continue.

Yet we can't jail someone with Aids that is knowingly infected unaware partners.

Are they the first state to enact criminal penalties from Covid. Even in LA not following Covid mandates is still just a Civil matter.

I swear, do school systems not teach any of you about other authoritarian forms of government? So many of you seem unable to think of anything but knotzees.

I might be mistaken, but I believe one of those is a whole lot worse to give someone than the other

I thought it was a crime to expose someone to HIV without informing them.

Edit: Checking Wiki, it looks like 29 states have laws about the transmission of HIV.

Florida couple arrested for breaking COVID-19 quarantine order

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Jose Freire Interian was walking his dog near his Key West home when a neighbor began recording him on her cellphone. Hours later, police came knocking on his door with an arrest warrant and whisked Freire and his wife to the county jail.

The charge: violating quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19.

In May, a Kentucky woman infected with the virus was arrested while shopping for groceries. Authorities accused her of “wanton endangerment” and “criminal mischief."

That same month, a coronavirus patient was chased down and arrested in Nashville after being placed under quarantine by public health officials.

In Hawaii last month, 21 travelers were arrested for breaking the state’s mandatory 14-day quarantine. None tested positive for the coronavirus.

Yeah, COVID has killed more people in 2020 so far than HIV in all of 2018.

In 2018, there were 15,820 deaths among adults and adolescents with diagnosed HIV in the United States and 6 dependent areas.

How will they enforce this? Will they track each person who tests positive?
