Hospitals can not make you stay, that is correct. But it has nothing to so with state ordered quarantine.

Under public health law, the state can and will quarantine you if you pose a danger to the public health.

Recently this has been done in several states with TB patients that refuse treatment.

“Have they made a law to quarantine her? If so, jail her.”

These laws have been on the books for more than 100 years. Quarantine to reduce the spread of disease works, it is settled science (and law).

Yes, but was she state ordered? I don’t think she was because she was able to leave.

If she was they could’ve had security stop her.

If someone is court ordered while in the hospital they absolutely cannot leave. They will be stopped and held. She was not.
