What is being done now is stupid, irresponsible, dangerous and will be criminal. When the folly is recognized or the public rage demands a change of approach it will be too late.
In emergency response we have a creed that many follow,
IN AN EMERGENCY ALWAYS RESPOND WITH MAXIMUM FORCE AND REDUCE THE APPLICATION OF FORCE AS NECESSARY.
In almost every event I have ever been involved in when this creed is not followed the result is bad.
I hope you can someday say how wrong I am but I am very sadly doubtful of that.
The weasel at the CDC have a professional duty and a moral ( if not an actual legal) obligation to notify the passengers on those flights, if for no other reason to encourage them to self-report.
As with the other minions of this regime, the CDC
is acting in a purely political fashion. This would be cause for revoking a professional license in other arenas, for starters.
The thing this approach accomplishes is destroying the public’s trust in this and other government agencies; and ultimately in this form of government.
All according to plan...
