Excerpt below & read on in article for the actual regs and problems ... it’s all “murky” and “potentially intrusive” (that’s an understatement):
Yet given the deadly nature of the Ebola virus, and the popular worry it’s likely to engender, one can expect the CDC and health authorities to pull out all the stops. The response could include invocation of the CDC’s evolving quarantine authorities.
These federal powers comprise a set of rules that gives CDC sweeping authority to hold and isolate Americans in a public health emergency. These authorities haven’t been fully updated in decades. They’ve only been amended in piecemeal fashion to deal with modern threats like SARS and MERS. In advance of what may be a very public test of these powers, the collected scheme deserves closer scrutiny.
If such disease did break out in America do you think people here would be smart enough to quarantine themselves?
The local cops will get to use all their military toys, methinks.
The gov already has the authority to force people into quarantine.
