It’s going to be interesting when Mexico closes the border to stop us from bring the diseases to them.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 13295
(Global Research) [...] The Obama executive order, titled Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases, amends executive order 13295, passed by George W. Bush in April 2003, which allows for the, “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.”
The amendment signed by Obama replaces subsection (b) of the original Bush executive order which referred only to SARS. Obama’s amendment allows for the detention of Americans who display,
“Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled.” (link)
Many people have attributed the Obama Executive Order to the fear within the Ebola crisis. Our research does not find that correlation.
What is far more likely is that the Ebola Crisis became a good cover (“never let a crisis go to waste“) for the quarantine contingency plan which was already in place.
This executive order was signed, July 31st 2014, well before the Ebola Crisis reached a point where the World Health Organization sounded the alarm bells; and before it reached the point of daily briefing for President Obama.
• The administration knew the Children were coming, • they knew a respiratory biological outbreak was possible, • and they knew quarantine would possibly be needed as a containment tool.
However, in addition, there would be a risk of “Hot Zone Identification” if the U.S./Mexico border region was the only proximity where the EV-D68 outbreaks were known to be occurring.
