I am very familiar with Federal and State (NH) laws about quarantine.
I have also run live simulations with real politicians and judges (with smallpox, not Ebola), and I can tell you that both classes of officials are VERY VERY reluctant to use their existing powers to control communicable diseases.
When did one of your judges block a federal quarantine?
“...VERY VERY reluctant to use their existing powers to control communicable diseases.”
We were talking about this with the kids. My wife used the example of the movie “JAWS” where they keep the beaches open. Of course in the movie it is just a single shark that once killed, everything is back to normal.
I fear that there will be no “normal” for awhile. And pray that I am wrong.
