These leaders?? Skills and wisdom?? These leaders??
Is that a joke or a rhetorical question?
Not true.
Many rights are now claimed which are not rights.
Natural rights endowed by the Creator are frequently trampled in pursuit of these new priorities.
True, but right now we have no "leaders".
International air traffic is probably already taking a beating due to Ebola and MERS.
They won’t institute a quarantine until air traffic plummets and the diseases are spread to more countries.
So no. They do not have the wisdom to walk it. They will choose the course of inaction until forced to choose otherwise. Which will only be after many people have needlessly become ill.
Your’re kidding right?Our so called leaders would have us all dead before violating their PC values.
What authority do they have to walk it? I am familiar with the plans; if armed soldiers and police are on all major roads with shoot to kill orders when you desperately are trying to get home to your wife and small child knowing you are at low risk, are you okay with it? Do you think that when they send you to the “government isolation facility” you are coming out in anything other than a body bag? I’m not okay with it. I don’t want/need the government to protect me, I know how to avoid an epidemic just fine, and if not I’ll trust in God. Stay home, shelter in place and keep the damned government out of it.
In time of epidemic, the Public Health Agency becomes the most authoritarian government department. They have the authority to order the police, and even the military, to follow their orders.
As necessary, their directives come at the barrel of a gun. If they order a city quarantined (though this almost invariably happens too late), this means armed guards with orders to “shoot to stop” any effort at breaking the quarantine.
They are not controlled by habeus corpus, that is, if they order a person kept in medical isolation, there is no judicial relief. This has been invoked a few times in recent years because of extensively drug resistant Tuberculosis. That person is detained indefinitely until no longer infectious, or dead. And even their body is under control until it can be safely disposed.
I didn’t do a preppers ping on this when I posted it, but I thought some of you might like to read it. This is what was done for the Spanish Flu which only had a mortality rate of 2.5%
According to NBC news, the individuals who have Ebola are destined for Emory University hospital.
It seems adequate to handle the situation BUT!!
There are ONLY FOUR that’s right FOUR hospitals in the US who have this type of quarantine.
That all, folks.
FOUR!!!
Global pandemic. This is a eugenics practioner’s wet dream.
