Retired Army. I gave up MY rights to protect yours. :)

I knew the ‘Constitutional Scholars’ around here would show up right on cue. ;)

I was also in the Army, but not as a career.

I get a bit peeved at people who see all of this as the government stripping them of their rights. Quarantine related measures are used to preserve the health and perhaps the life of others. It appears that it must be enforced since many image that their rights include infecting others with disease just because they have no self discipline.

That being said, I think the level of excitement this time is merely self preservation on the part of political animals. Nobody want to be viewed as "not doing anything".

The point is though you gave up rights. You were not forced to give them up.
