We don’t need legislatures to make laws anymore, we apparently have dictators to handle that.


COVID-19 patients must isolate or face fines, jail time under new MSDH order

quote:

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - As COVID-19 cases across the state continue to surge, state health leaders are hoping a new order will encourage people infected with the virus to self-isolate. Friday, State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs handed down a mandate that all individuals, vaccinated or not, who test positive for COVID-19 must stay home upon learning they are infected. Individuals who fail to do so could be charged with a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $500, six months’ imprisonment, or both, upon conviction. If a life-threatening disease is involved, failure to follow the order could result in a felony charge, carrying a fine of up to $5,000, five years in prison, or both.


quote:

According to the order, individuals must remain at home or in an “appropriate residential location” for 10 days from the onset of the illness or 10 days from the date of the positive test for those who are asymptomatic. Negative tests results are not required to end the isolation at the end of the 10 days, but individuals must be fever-free for at least 24 hours and have an improvement in regard to other symptoms.

dude, if you are positive you need to quarantine. come on, lol. I am not in favor of this mask bullshite unless everyone is going to wear an N95 one and I certainly do not support being mandated to take part in a clinical trial, but if you are positive, your arse needs to quarantine.

And an elementary school has apparently directed all students to quarantine for 14 days.

Leake Central Elementary School announces 14-day quarantine for all students

quote:

LEAKE CO., Miss. (WLBT) - According to Leake County School district, all Leake Central Elementary School students will begin a 14-day quarantine starting on Monday, August 23. LCSD says students can return to school and begin a hybrid schedule on Tuesday, September 7. According to the district, the decision was made in an effort to stop the current spread of the Delta variant at the school. The Mississippi Department of Health states schools can be dismissed for a quarantine of 14 days under the following conditions:


quote:

If three or more individual classrooms settings, defined groups, or defined buildings are experiencing simultaneous outbreaks

If multiple absentees or exclusions of students and staff are leading to disruptions in on-campus functioning and impacting the learning environment as determines by the school

I don’t disagree, but the state health officer shouldn’t be making laws.

Good way to get people to not test.

Or they’ll home test and do what they want anyway.

Or if they test at the docs, who will monitor If they stay home???

Covid is never going away. Do you want quarantines to be a permanent part of our lives?

Should people quarantine with the flu?
Why aren’t HIV+ people being forced to quarantine?

Think deeper than what is on the surface

And what if you want to go to Target for a pickup??

It’s just a drive and open your trunk.

Zero chance I would test if this mandate was in place where I live.
