Put people with Kung Flu in jail. Great idea

As we’re emptying the jails of rapists and murderers to keep it from spreading

How do we know? We didn't test for it.

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


Encourage is one thing, but offering incentives (i.e. free McDonald's) to everyone who gets tested is shady as hell. Paying hospitals additional funds for Covid positive patients is straight up asinine.

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


HIPAA laws should protect them.

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

Not saying I agree with this MS law, but the "unaware partner" in your AIDS scenario has more agency over their own potential exposure.

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




Lol. I’m certainly not sitting in my house for 2 weeks if I test positive and I’m asympomatic. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. And that is why anyone who tests thats not seriously sick is a fricking buffoon. Tired of this ignorant shite. frick you and people like you

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


Yes but they aren’t letting us continue as normal.

Open up 100% then I’d be fine with quarantining only the sick

According to US News they are actually two spots ahead of Louisiana and four ahead of Alabama in education.

Their population (37.3%) has a 1.1% greater obesity rate than Louisiana (36.2%) and 1% greater obesity rate than Alabama (36.3%).

None of them is much to write home about, but MS is no worse than Louisiana in the areas you referenced.

What does being asymptomatic have to do with it? You are still likely contagious. Do you not consider anyone else's health?

Depends on your perspective. It's been working wonderfully for people with money and power.

Were you this concerned about asymptomatic people during H1N1, SARS, Swine flu, etc? If you aren't 80+ yrs old, a chronic smoker, morbidly obese or have the sugar in your blood why are you that concerned? If you are one of these categories why are you in public? Or have you allowed CNN and FB convince you this is anything more than a seasonal flu?

Exactly. Only states with chronic smokers, obesity, heart disease, or lung disease should be concerned.
