Hey stuckincali, are you ok with this?
Or is there a limit to these emergency authoritarian powers after all?
Evidently, violating the Constitution, the supreme law of the country, is not against the law and there is no consequences.
We see it every day, again and again.
Hey, judge, you gonna throw them into the furnace alive China style next?
This is not unusual, if you have TB, not undergoing treatment and are a risk for transmission, public health officials and law enforcement may involuntary hold you until they decide you are a risk for transmission. This has been true for over a century.
North Carolina is a red state turning blue. Hopefully the voters are watching the heavy handed tactics of the Democrat governor the state elected in 2016. Protests occurred this week in NC and there was an arrest.

You got it.
Well, it seems that the ruling class is moving toward the Black Death model from the mid-1300s. Are you sick, maybe sick, someone says you’re sick, then board them up in their houses and make sure they can’t get out to infect anyone. Only it didn’t work and this was bacterial (Yersinia Pestis) rather than viral. The pope had a huge fire built around him thinking that would protect him. The feudal lords fled to their country estates (much like Pelosi and company) and used armed guards, but that didn’t help either. The plague recurred numerous times over the centuries and is still among us.
Unlike the great plague which killed 1/3 to 1/2 of the world population, this is less than the flu in nature and will not go away. It will still be here and by hiding everyone behind closed doors, the pool of those vulnerable is expanded and at some point they will contract it as well. Uncalled for panic, generated by experts who have not been right yet with any of their predictions resulting in the collapse of our economy and way of life; there is the real killer virus.
Isn’t there a concept of “deprivation of civil rights under color of law”?
I would probably draw on anyone attempting to serve me with this order.
Michigan and Virginia, looking like there will be some real action.
Their .gov is beyond reason or control and something else must step in.
.
The key to dictatorship is the police. What would the policians do without them and us paying their salaries plus benefits?
You need to re-read the article. You don’t have to have COVID-19 — they need only “suspect” you of having it. This is straight-up banana republic territory.
They need to be fired on the spot if they even try this.
But OTOH, has anyone looked into this beotch governor?
There has to be more to the story. What is she trying to hide?
The outrageous behaviour doesn't make sense.
You may be kidding. They are not. They consider refusing to obey their orders as a capitol offense. Also, the more insane the order, the more vigorously it must be enforced.
It is only a matter of time until somebody gets shot over this sort of thing.
So they are opening jails to let criminals out, and they are going to jail SUSPECTED coronavirus patients...?
Now that there’s some GooooOOOoood governmenting!!
I was going to post this too, but I'd also like to add that it's funny that the country has never been shut down for a TB epidemic.
That would be "suicide-by-cop" if you did.
The author, Solzhenitsyn, had some pertinent comments about this sort of thing. By the time this situation comes up, it's not really about you anymore.
The only point of drawing down under the circumstances would be to take them all with you when you go. Otherwise, just shut up and get in the van.
Yep - then will demand they be immediately freed for their “safety”....riiiiight?
A great lake.
Carbon footprint and all that.
