COVID-19 Patients Who Refuse To Self Isolate Will Be Sent To Jail For 5 Years In Mississippi

ransomnote: very disturbing to see these sentences, fines. This is how it started in Australia, and the fines and prison sentences just kept increasing, sometimes doubling overnight. Limits to keep people from traveling beyond 10 kilometers from their homes were halved, overnight, with more and more troops/police to enforce. This is an overthrow of freedom done by degrees.

According to Mississippi Health Office, the patients of COVID-19 who refuse to self-isolate may be fined $5000 and even sent to 5 years in jail or both.

The state health officer for Mississippi issued a COVID-19 isolation order (read below) on Friday, telling people that if they test positive for COVID-19 and refuse to self-isolate, they could face fines or possible jail time.

In his isolation order (read below), Mississippi State Health Officer Thomas Dobbs said that people have to isolate themselves at home once they become aware that they are infected.

People are expected to remain home for 10 days after becoming ill or testing positive for COVID-19, regardless of whether they are fully vaccinated.

“A negative test for COVID-19 is not required to end isolation at the end of 10 days, but you must be fever free for at least 24 hours with improvement of other symptoms,” the order said.

The order stated that refusal to obey could include several fines or punishments. Someone who refuses to obey the order of a health official could receive a $500 fine, up to six months in jail or both.

However, when a life-threatening disease is involved, the refusal to obey the order could include up to $5,000 in fines, five years of jail time or both.

The state has been struggling with a relatively low vaccination rate — only 37 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

As GreatGameIndia reported earlier, students at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University will be fined up to $2,275 and lose internet access if they fail to comply with the university’s COVID-19 vaccination policies.

Meanwhile, French Vaccine Police have started patrolling the streets of Paris enforcing a Virus Pass and slapping fines as high as 9,000 Euros.

Read the order by Mississippi Health Office below:

and that is precisely how marxism starts- small at first- increasing as it goes along- they don’t go and arrest everyone all at once, no- they arrest piecemeal, knowing that a few people arrested here and there won’t incite riots of resistance like mass arrests would-

Exactly.

They need to vilify them somehow for not complying with their overlords.

Yes, I think they have found toxins in the paper masks. Of course most are made in China.

Most of our medicine is made in China and we don’t have adequate Quality Control methods in place. Who knows what the Chinese are doing to that medicine.

I looked at some bottles of Vit. D-3 and they are “Made in China”. Most supplements don’t say where they are made.

They don’t define the wuhanvirus as a life threatening disease.

Missisippi does need support from the rest of the states. UNited we stand> They can’t arrest everyone in the US. But the Australia tactic is to quietly pick of regions where no one else responds to help them, each day diminishing the number of people remaining who can support the state.

Similar to Richmond Virginia 2A protests. The deep state wanted to isolate VA and strip them of guns but too many patriots from all over the nation, and some from foreign countries, flooded the zone and stopped them. They can’t take us all on, but any one region isolated, they can bring down.

Health order doesn’t define the wuhanvirus as a life threatening disease.

So the penalty would be either a fine of $500 or 6 months in jail for not obeying a lawful order of a health officer.

But what happened to the legislature, don’t they make the laws; what’s in the Mississippi codes listed at the beginning of the letter?

this has supposed to have been the rule universally - if infected to quarantine 10 days

anyone returning to Calif is supposed to quarantine for 5 days (not that many do it, mind you)

a health dept, county or state, has the power to mandatory quarantine you. By whatever means necessary. It’s a practice that goes back centuries and it’s a good policy.

I’M THINKIN’ MR. DOBBS HAD BEST SLEEP LIGHTLY, AND WITH ONE EYE ALWAYS OPEN.

I have it on fairly good authority that a Southern man don’t take kindly to this kind of bein’ pushed around.

For all that folks in the South speak kindly, and know their “Yes, Sir” and “Yes, Ma’am”; there comes a moment where you push a Southern man a whit too far and wake up in Glory.

This is gettin to be that sort of moment.

Let me know when it’s enforced in Mississippi

Not gonna happen

Caveat....I do know Covid is raging there...I’m from there ....7th Gen from Pappy tom Sullivan of famed namesake hollow.

And all my family except mine I created are there now

What LAWS have been made about wearing masks? Yet people have been forced to wear them to obtain certain services?

“Not gonna happen”

Perhaps it won’t if the people of Mississippi stand up to it. If they don’t............
