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


This is deadlier than the flu. If you are positive you need to quarantine, especially since there are still so little we know.

I think the government overreach is fricking absurd, but this isn't one of them.

I have six boxes of home tests for my family. Same test that my facility uses for their residents (I’m not being tested — still doing telemed by their mandate).

If we need we’ll test here and proceed accordingly.

i.e. - Constitutional rights apply unless there is a virus the government deems to be a crisis. I remember Jefferson saying that.

I’m not trying to be combative. There are alot of things to consider. One is this country wasn’t founded on ‘we are all in this together’

quarantining and mandating a clinical trial are hardly the same thing. You get convicted if you willing give people HIV too.

He didn’t make this law. This authority for the state health officer has existed long before covid.

“It shall be his or her duty to determine in individual cases or groups of cases whether to impose restrictions on the activities of patients or contacts of persons with a communicable disease and to fix the period of isolation for such diseases. ”-Source: Miss.Code Ann. §41-3-17

There is no law saying you must quarantine. There is no point in mandated quarantine anyway, because the virus is going to work its way through society regardless.

I am assuming that if there was a section that provided for penalties you would have quoted it too.

“local health officer shall, on first knowledge or suspicion, conduct an investigation into all the circumstances and prescribe such reasonable methods of control as may be calculated to minimize the danger of further dissemination of the disease process.

Language seems ambiguous. Looks like he can pretty much do whatever he wants to try and control a disease outbreak

This has been known for decades.

Yet here we are.
